Perhaps that was a tad too 'gleeful' at that. Ah well, I have obviously been a rather staunch campaigner for the idea of Rider being dead... I suppose I got a bit carried away at the proof that I see within the episode. Has been minorly edited.
As to our golden clad friend,
Spoiler:
My apologies if that was indeed the case. I'll try to clarify - my first assumption would be that Caster knows who all the initial servants are, else her statement here doesn't make sense - therefore she would have been aware of the existence of all (bar our golden friend, for reasons that are best suited to spoiler threads). As such, since I assume that she would have known that Rider was about - which she definitely did, since they had a small fight during episode... 8? and that she could hardly have missed Saber's Excalibur going off in the sky. For all that Saber said "hey, noone will ever notice!" a large beam of light intersecting a falling star isn't exactly a shrug off event - particularly since it would have to have been mana intensive, and I'd assume that Caster, who is indeed a magician, would have been able to sense the mana usage - or probably even just been watching on her crystal ball.
The way I read her statement, that only Lancer and Saber remain, is that only those two are left out of those that she originally knew about. The golden clad warrior, who I am trying very hard to skirt around, would not be included in this set of knowledge, as he isn't from the list of summoned servants for the Holy Grail War - this was what I was trying to show by my listing of the servants that we have known, loved, and gleefully watched being stabbed in the back.
There isn't any real reason that Caster would be aware that our GCF™ even exists at the moment - there hasn't exactly been any evidence of him appearing during the anime, only in the new OP. So for the moment, I have to assume that he is still completely incognito. Thus, since she is presumably unaware of our GCF™'s existence at this time, and since she would have been easily able to identify all of the other Servants (definitely Saber and Berserker at the very least, as we saw her watching in her crystal ball back in an early episode, Rider as she fought her, and Assassin since, well, yes ^_^) then I'm forced to conclude that Caster doesn't view Rider as around anymore... ergo, she is 'dead.'
Again, apologies for any tone that might have been misconstrued. Hopefully that cleared that up a bit
