re: True Detective S3E1: The Great War and Modern Memory

I'm rewatching now. Some questions/notes:

The opening lines confirm this will all have a lot to do with memory or lack thereof. He's told he's having memory problems. Then he listens to his own recording telling himself he has memory problems.

From his recording: "But remember why you're talking to them (the people from the tv). Figure out how much they know." So apparently it's still not solved in 2015 and he's still trying to figure it out?

"You don't need no surprises this late in the game." Huh?

The kids lied when they did they'd see the new puppy at the playground. Ronnie told his dad Will didn't say today when talking about seeing the puppy. Then as someone said before, the dad was wrong (or lied) about the kids saying they were going to a friend's house.

We see the bikes up at the tower with the older kids. But that's up on a hill and the bikes was found down in a creek. So just an inconsistency in his memory? How did he build that memory in the first place?

The documentary blonde could get it.

When he's talking about his wife and breaking down a bit, we see Henry's reaction. And it's weird, like Henry thinks he's lying.

We go back and forth between 1990 memories and 2015 memories. Can't find any consistent themes for each. Maybe amelia is only shown from the 2015 memories?

One of the pictures in Julie's room looked like a wedding scene. One of those creepy dolls was holding flowers like a bride.
