[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 383699, member: 57984"] One way of distinguishing the two series' business dynamics is that while DALLAS focused obsessively on oil (with a little bit of cattle ranching) and a privately-owned family company called Ewing Oil, DYNASTY instead focused (barely) on oil, too, and a publicly-owned even richer company known as Denver-Carrington, as well as ColbyCo which was richer still. To set itself apart, usually mumbling about Denver-Carrington's shale oil extraction process whenever they decided the program needed some business chatter, DYNASTY should have focused more on Blake's or Alexis' military hardware manufacturing divisions, with any oil references here-and-there only in the background. (Didn't THE COLBYS do a little more of that?) Many major oil companies have such military armament divisions, and that could have provided DYNASTY a slightly different political aspect to the storylines. Not that DYNASTY was ever much interested in politics, eschewing it entirely even during their Season 8 gubernatorial race. But Blake could, after the apocalypse that supposedly was the Moldavian massacre aftermath -- and the reasons for it, choose to divest himself of his military hardware division, selling it off, with much derision from Adam and Jason as a result... But DYNASTY was just never written that way. The only suggestion I can recall to Blake's company generating and selling weapons is in the pilot. Did the Ewings ever have their toes, as far as we ever heard, in military contracting? One assumes Ewing Oil was less diversified that the DYNASTY corporations, but how much less?
