I love the show, but I'm confused about the title - The Son. The title implies that Eli was born the year Texas became a state. Texas entered the Union in 1845. That would make Eli three years old when his character was introduced in Episode One (1848). Clearly he appeared older than three. What was probably meant was that Eli was born the year Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836. In that case, Eli would be twelve years old when his character was introduced in Episode One. Young Eli did look about that age. A suburb show, nevertheless.
