Saber didn't really lose though. She got downed, but who knows how things would've turned out. Her luck stat is abnormally high, after all.

Shirou performed awesome in this episode. Granted that Kuzuki underestimated him like Saber did Kuzuki, he managed to keep an opponent who hurt his servant even for just a few seconds at bay. It's quite funny how Kuzuki did not listen to his own advice. Some masters can stand in the front lines.

Rin's decision to keep Archer away was retarded. Sure, she didn't want Archer to meet Caster because of the crap that he said, but had he been there, Kuzuki and Caster would be jerky. A single Noble Phantasm arrow would disintegrate Kuzuki.

Rin is weak as hell. It doesn't help that she talks big. "I just have to keep you away, ugh, defeated."

What I am not happy about was how they translated (at least horriblesubs) the intro. It was in Japanese, but they used the English Archer chant, which means something completely different. I took a stab at the translation, for those interested:

His body is made of blades.
His blood is iron, and his heart glass.
Undefeated after traversing countless battlefields.
Never retreating, never understood.
Always alone on the hill of swords, he is intoxicated by glory.
Therefore, his life is meaningless.
His body, surely, was made of blades.
