Cue the point, Shuffle and Fate/Stay Night have no relationship what so ever. They are totally different stories, made by different companies, with different types of people. People are just going to keep harping on how the character are the same which for a lot of shows has similarity due to the stereotype class that is used in animes per person.
As for the episode, yea it was pretty good stuff, enjoyed the fight scenes and the Caster vs Rider fight scene from the curtain raiser is good stuff. Saber vs Assassin was done really cool.
