So the last scene of this show was absolutely terrible. Does Ahmad actually have any claim on the throne of the Mongolian Empire? I thought he was "adopted" and not even a bastard like Byamba, does that count? Is he just planning on killing every Mongolian in the Khanate to take the throne? Or is he hoping that he will be the Jia Sidao to Jingim's young emperor because he's been ingratiating himself to Jingim the whole series? I was kind of willing to accept movie kung-fu as the setting's "magic" like in Game of Thrones and just take the series as fantasy. But the super-manipulator villain now having a painting of himself holding the decapitated head of the emperor on his wall is ridiculous. I hope the first scene of season two (if it ever exists) is his new friend Jingim showing up at his house, seeing the picture, and stuffing Ahmad into a rug.

Xoidanor posted:I would unironically watch like 1/3 of an episode devoted to showing how the nitty gritty of logistics worked, mostly because I don't think it has ever been done on the screen. Me too. I actually think the way Marco found out that Ariq was lying about sending his army to support Kublai's in attacking the Song was one of the smartest parts of the show. It was believable that the son of a traveling merchant would understand the logistics of sending a mounted army to war better than a Prince taught by Chinese scholars and dazzled by his uncle's stories.
