A couple of things stuck out for me here.
Alexander (Rider)...wow. Never expected such a lax servant - definitely feels like Waver is going to be the first one to lose (if Assassin hasn't carked it already).
Saber's backstory certainly surprised me too - especially considering the male > female logic of the old ages.
Uryuu and Caster - match made in heaven. Both complete and utter nutters - sadistic to boot (I don't revel in cruelty and murder, but Caster's murder of that kid was brilliantly done).
Finally...Assassin. Looked so impressive dealing with the security systems (have seen the similar scene in Ocean's Twelve on youtube - both very impressive) - then gets utterly tonked by Archer. On the same side lads, eh? Backstabbers extraordinaire (Assassin and Kirei)...crap backstabbers, mind
Yep, good episode all round. Still a little repulsed by the idea of Kariya having worms in his body...then again, Sakura's dealings with those feckers should tell me all I need to know really - Zōken is still a p****.
Bring on Episode 3.
