Trivia
The opening scene (in which Wayne helps Becca move into her college dorm) is the first scene that does not occur within the established time lines of 1980, 1990 and 2015. By using the ages of Wayne, Becca and vehicle models, it is likely that the time frame is set in the early 2000's.

Goofs
While Wayne is examining the phone records, his pager begins buzzing. He places it on the desk and ignores it as it continues to buzz. The shot cuts to Amelia listening to the phone ring as she tries to page Wayne. That is not the way that pagers worked. Instead of listening to the rings, Amelia would have called the pager number, entered her phone number when the system answered, and then would have hung up and waited for Wayne to call her back. The shot should have cut to her holding / looking at the phone receiver waiting for the call.

10/10

Perfect closure to the '90s timeline and a hint of what's coming

The third season of True Detective has been, until last episode, very stale and in a lot of ways forced. But this episode, not only managed to stand out, it is on par with episodes 4, 5 and 8 of season 1. By the way, how does one interpret the scene where Wayne is surrounded with nothing but darkness and a bit of light? (Twin Peaks vibes right here.) Is the reporter actually July? Why is the man in a black car still being in front of Wayne's house 35 years later? Is Wayne, maybe, just maybe, connected to the children kidnapping? Can't wait to find out in the finale. 5/5 Phenomenal
