They really are having issues making it clear that something is a flashback. The only real evidence that Adam's throne room scene was a flashback was the fact that he appeared on the train, hiding his face with a hood, in the same exact episode, leaving us to be like "Oh. Well. I guess that scene was in the past."

I get that they might not want to keep putting "Two weeks ago" and then "Present day" or whatever because they want the season to also be able to be watched as a movie, but they need to figure something out.

And as of late, they've been doing some storytelling and worldbuilding through background details, which is cool, but at the same time, not everyone obsessively pauses the episode and takes a closer look every time something potentially interesting is onscreen. There are still people who didn't see that V7E1 showed us a news article that said Mantle's outer wall was damaged, which led them to believe that the Sabyrs attacking was a plot hole.

They need to strike a balance between being blatant and being subtle.
