masa: eclipse's subs aren't particularly spectacular, but they're certainly on par with everyone elses. Based on the last 4 eps they released, I'd call them a better-than-average group. I've noticed a few nitpicky editing points, but nothing I'd dismiss their work over.

Rider's awesomeness, though? I wouldn't really call it that, so much as ... well ... lack thereof. Her ultimate attack seems to be pretty crap (sure, it tore up the building, but it didn't really seem to do anything to Shiro or Saber), and maybe it's just the result of Shiro kicking ass without even knowing it, but she couldn't even really hurt him very much!

As far as what Saber and Rin were talking about ... I think that was something to do with Shiro fundamentally changing things. Sort of like how he turned the broken broomhandle in ep 11 from a piece of splintered wood to something rather ... metallic. The point, whatever it means, is that Shiro's raw natural talent is pretty incredible -- something supported by him just waving off Shinji's attacks (and his ease finding the spell marks back in episode 7).
