Hi, I would appreciate if you could help me with these.

1. A group of adults has finished watching a movie or a play and was commenting on a particular scene of the movie or play afterward. An actual partial scene was set like this:

The father comes in to the kitchen, where all kids were sitting. The  father was leaving for a work assignment and has gathered all of his children around a table in the kitchen to inform them of his temporary departure and to give some instructions. He said, "OK, kids, you know I just got a new assignment and have to leave at 5 p.m. I hope you will all behave and do good in your schools."

Now, adults are commenting on the scene and one adult in that group started to make some references to the scene to make his points. Is the underlined tense correct? Should all verbs in the same tenses or can the first verb be different?  

(In that scene) He (the father) comes (can it be came?) into the kitchen and talked to his kids about his departure and to give some instructions. I think in that scene the father chose to talk in the kitchen, rather than in the livingroom because the table in the kitchen was bigger and he wanted to hold a group talk where all of his six kids are there. 

2. Compare these two and please tell me how they are different.

I thought the apples were great in taste.

I thought he does love me.
