Firstly, this is likely artistic license. Another idea would be that, being immortal, his memory start to mix up events and time periods.

I found the rationale for the destruction of the future world rather implausible myself. Most discussions of defenses against asteriod collisions rely on bumping the asteroid slightly off its orbital track so that it misses the earth, not blowing it up with dozens of nuclear weapons.

I think of it as "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" going very wrong. Remember that in the panic, the nukes, supposed to be programmed to aim the asteroid, aimed towns instead.
EDIT: I do think this is my favorite of the season. Depending on how it unfold and deliver, it might turn into my favorite show of the year.
