@liztai So glad you commented on the Deng Zi Yue scene.

I thought it was superbly well acted by both - the dialogue was like watching acting jenga.

Fan keeps tapping at all the facade Deng built up, all the rationales. Then the cracks appear and then the utter collapse of the mask.

IMHO It reinforced Fan’s arc of needing independent thinkers around him not tools. Again, showing an alternative mode around power to the Emperor’s. It was such a powerful scene.
