Well, I still think the pacing is like molasses, and this episode certainly didn't change that, but I'm looking forward to whatever plot gymnastics will occur in order for two masters without servants to continue this war (and, presumably, come out the victors when it's all said and done).
Also, it's sometimes easy to forget that the Fate game is an erotic visual novel, as they've kept that aspect largely absent from the anime, but having Saber with her dress scrunched up in that pose certainly served as a jarring reminder of how well the story and dialog can handle itself without the need for the eroge elements.
