“It is time + you + do”

Which means you're technically an adult, don't you think it's time you move on from primitive constructs such as popularity?

I saw this line in a tv-series. I thought this construction "it's time + you + do" is grammatically wrong.

I suppose these versions are correct:

"...it's time for you to move on from primitive constructs such as popularity?"...it's time you moved on from primitive constructs such as popularity?

Strictly speaking you are correct. More glaring for me is the comma splice.
