According to Hong Kong fans, TVB cut out a lot of Steven's scenes including Director Tsui's favorite scene of Monk Zhi Cong's first onscreen appearance - writing calligraphy with his left and right hands. In the original version, Steven's monk has lots of scenes in episode 8 but most of them were cut out on TVB version. weibo link TVB's pettiness just reached new height for me.

Totally not surprised of course, since this IS TVB after all...it would be a miracle if they WEREN'T petty! The part I'm most curious about is what type of BS lame excuse TVB is going to give to explain why Steven's scenes were cut (I wonder if they'll do what they did with the HKFA editing fiasco and blame the lowly editing person in the control room who supposedly did his own thing and 'assumed' he was doing TVB a favor)....so pathetic!
