It's actually a steal from series like Revenge and shows lack of imagination for dramatic arcs.This all sounds a bit clever for new Dynasty however I like the premise.

To be fair, it's not like Revenge / How To Get Away With Murder invented this type of storytelling - maybe they mainstreamed it to broadcast television but in itself it's nothing new. I don't mind it, though I think at this point we should've had more than two flashforwards since someone will die in episode 13.It's actually a steal from series like Revenge and shows lack of imagination for dramatic arcs.
I'm reminded of the coffin at the end of season 2 of Falcon Crest clues and foreshadowing like this go back to the days of serialized movie shorts, probably even to the days of serialized stories published in newspapers in magazines.To be fair, it's not like Revenge / How To Get Away With Murder invented this type of storytelling - maybe they mainstreamed it to broadcast television but in itself it's nothing new.

There are only so many characters to reveal, I guess. But they could in theory have another character revealed in each episode(five more characters) leading up to Episode 12, when the actual death will likely take place in the closing scene. If they ruled out ALL the other characters before the beginning of episode 12, there would be no suspense during the hour.I don't mind it, though I think at this point we should've had more than two flashforwards since someone will die in episode 13.
Since they've been filming so far ahead they could always have filmed it later and cut it into the show.I'm curious as to whether the flash-forward scenes were filmed at the beginning of the season (letting all the actors and majority of the crew know who was going to live and who...wasn't) or if they've been staging them as they progressed in filming to keep more people in the dark. One way to tell, of course, will be whether Daniela Alonso is back to her regular figure or hiding behind a giant flower arrangement in the funeral flash-forward. If she IS in the flashforward.....[/dum dum DUUUUUUMMMM]
