Something I was thinking about early in the season that I forgot to share regarding the diner scene in the first episode. They seem to want us to know it's his birthday, to hint at the elapse of time, show his state of mind in that he's obviously missing his family as he's tearing up his own bacon in a memory of what he used to have, etc.

But he verifies his birthday with a fake ID. Now, I would think, if you had a fake ID, you would have a fake birth date too?

Is it really his birthday? Is it a big deal? Does it mean anything? Is it a writing goof?

My opinion on the matter is that for whatever reason, he just has his real birthday on his fake ID. But it seems like a bit of a writing slip.
