Unlike the VN, the Anime needs to send a message visually... and I don't think that any on Anime Only watchers will have trouble guessing most of his thoughts.

Saber's flashback is necessary, especially since Fate storyline was not given to the watcher. The parallel between Saber and Archer is required, especially to motivate Saber to give up on her own wish... not to mention that it makes Saber staying behind rather than saving her Master look better.
And even if it were not necessary, it is neat to have parallels.
Truth be told, I felt like that Archer himself was the best advice/evidence to Saber when it concerns her own wish in the VN.
