god this story is boring
it should've been four parts, maybe five
seven is taking the piss, especially when marco polo is two stories later and actually uses its runtime well
they spend at least half of episode 6 in a cave
to be fair, marco polo did that too, but that story also had an interesting setting
don't get me wrong, this story does have some good moments
but they're buried under a mountain of padding
it's always a good sign when it feels like the story is actively wasting your time
