That final monologue.. what an.. unexpected time from a directorial perspective to start being worried that a character's motivation might be too obtuse for the audience. It was still good, but I don't think it could have been any easier to read what was happening and why. And I say that as someone whose most enduring criticism of this series has been how difficult it's been for me as an anime-only viewer to keep track of and relate to the various motivations of F/Z's clown-car cast.
I really have nothing negative to say about the episode, Kiritsugu's sledgehammer-soliloquy didn't ruin the scene in any way. It still worked nicely, I just wasn't expecting it. The past two episodes had been fastidiously equipping us to comprehend Kiritsugu's thought process at that moment, or so I thought.
