Marco Polo - 9/10
Why does this have to be one of the missing stories? I loved everything up until they get to Kublai Khan. It's still good, just not quite as strong after that.
Positives
Everyone firing on all cylinders: Our four main characters all get lots to do, this is probably Susan's best episode with her relationship with Ping-Cho being the heart of the story.
Dangerous journey: I love when a TARDIS crew is stranded and the word itself is a danger from sandstorms to fear of dying of thirst.
Character Dynamics: The Characters relationships with each other are so strong here. Marco Polo and The Doctor especially have some amazing back and fourth.
Negatives
Conclusions: Both the endings to Ping-Cho's forced marriage and the team getting the TARDIS back feel rushed to me, it's a shame as the overall journey is so fun.
