Can't help but feel bad for Lancer through the whole story. Has the perfect master stolen from him, he does everything against his own will, and ultimately either has to kill himself or gets killed off in an unceremonious way. At least he gets his revenge in UBW-route and goes out like a champ. His runic magic with Bazett would have made them a damn near unstoppable team, maybe even against serious!Gil.

Gae Bolg vs. Ea, what exactly happens there? Gae Bolg is pretty damn fast, can Ea fire off in time?
Gilgamesh doesn't need to use Ea, he can use caladbolg, which is basically lancer(F/SN)'s weakness.

GDB also mentioned the reasons why Illya is dangerous.
Well, Rin and Ilya do have some advantages, but Rin in particular does not have the personality of a magus at all.

Sakura could have had the advantages Rin counted on to be among the group, but sadly I couldn't count her for those reasons you mentioned (the worms and her unwillingness to fight). Had she given an equal upbringing as Rin, then she would be a great Master too. The problem is that she's either crippled by something or too hax (as Dark Sakura).
If you were to free her from Zouken somehow, then Sakura could fulfill the role of a master perfectly well. It's not like they need to be able to fight, at any rate.

However, I don't really think people need to go to the extent of acknowledging that the ending isn't happy because Sakura is not involved, since upon completing the ending most people had never finished HF in the first place. Even after completing HF, the feeling of "Wow, UBW good is really happy!" isn't so easy to argue away so long as the feeling is still there.

This discussion reminds me of a fanfic called Dear Tohsaka. Pretty decent read, by the way.
It was said that Shinji became a better person in UBW ends, so maybe we had a epic Shinji sacrificing himself to atone for what he did and Shirou and Sakura cries, blah blah , Zouken dies, blah blah sort of happy end.
But it will never see the light of day because Shinji is meant to be hated always.

I think Rin has at least some legitimate training where as Sakura didn't have any at all. I don't think having the personality of a magus is all that required. I mean Thess did include Kiritsugu. I think what seperates the legitimate magi more the non-legitimate according to Thess is their degree of proffesionalism. Rin has at least some but Sakura doesn't have any. Though be honest I'd definitely count Waver as a legimtate magi especially after watching him track down Caster's lair.

I don't think it's said that Shinji was a better person. Just that he's less inclined to be a jackass (which i suppose makes him a better person but doesn't make him good). I could see him developing a conscience but even if he did I doubt he'd develop the ability or willpower to stand up to Zouken.

Waver's prana output seems to be lacking (kinda like Shirou). Rider has to use his own to manifest his army. That's why I didn't count him.
Spoiler for for the old man:

You never know, he could have galge involving flat chested blondes stashed in his treasury.
Which explains why he became so much more obsessed with saber.

He doesn't like Saber because of her appearance or gender, though, but because of her ambition/wish/etc. Those who aim high remind him of Enkidu!1!1! even if they don't look like him or act like him.

Also, he's around Kotomine, someone he finds really, really interesting
Spoiler for fate zero ending?:
He seems to hang around his Church in HF (Shirou crossed his path) and mark his things (remember Kirei's spoon had "king g" engraved on it).

The other cast members are amazing too.

Man, that was completely unexpected. I never thought I'd see the prototype of Fate animated.

I think all you need is to play the first route of Melty Blood to get most of the jokes in Carnival Phantasm.
