At least when she kick the bucket, she did it on her stead, Bellerophon....died fighting.
Rider is also more talkative in this episode. A bit unsual since she is quiet, sexy female in the start.
Sakura mournful look and Rin's responding expression is priceless.

I'm not so convinced she's gone. For reasons I won't state, but I'm at least half sure we'll see Rider again.
This episode so far rates between an 8 and a 9 until I see it translated to get a better understanding of some of the dialogue between Rider and Saber. That'll dictate which rating I will give it.
Not totally convinced about the developing romance between Shirou and Saber. It feels a little forced to me, not like how Shiki and Arcuied from Tsukihime developed(and that was in half the episodes too!). We'll see what direction they plan on taking us.
