Announcements banner: Rewatchalong, ep 30 is up! (No rewatchalong next week, because:) I'm modding a flash exchange next week – Space Race.

27. What minor plot arc should have gotten another episode, and why?
Depending on how one counts "minor plot arc" – preferrably the time travel subplot, so we could see Ye Zun do something actually worth confining in a pillar for ten thousand years (and Shen Wei be all doki doki at Zhao Yunlan some more).

If that doesn't count as a minor plot arc, then I vote the An Bai throning arc. It had a decent case to it, but we could've gotten more Dixing worldbuilding without screwing up the pacing too much, maybe? Or mirror girl, that was a fun case, and we could've done with more dénouement about mirror girl's father. Maybe a flashback to him raising her, or her telling how she ended up on the surface, or what happened to her mother (or do Dixingians reproduce via mpreg?) Actually, let's change my answer to mirror girl, that'd be better-served by more time, I think.

(As for what gets sacrificed: Da Ji. Sorry, but you were annoying and your attachment to the Merit Brush stuff minimal!)
