I definitely agree. It's the worst episode of either cour.

Dolphins huh? So what's next?
I'd bet they're going to show actual sex scenes in H/F, it wouldn't make very much sense otherwise considering that it's cinematic format and considering KnK 3.

I doubt. Probably the only scene that they show would be

For the rest i think we would go some other animal. I'd bet for worms.

Well that one is a given but the sex scenes are so important for character development animals would make zero sense.

Absolutely. I wonder if I have already complained enough about them cutting some far more important scenes like Archer's first UBW summon or plenty of things during first cour and then spend an entire episode on this when the entire thing could easily have been done in half of an episode if that...

Different routes, different formats, different amounts of meaning in the actual act. UBW sex scene to me was just an excuse for one, the same thing could have been accomplished with any type of mana transfer... like with dolphins.

Honestly I'd like to say that I preferred the original over dolphins but it's like the worst sex scene ever written apart from its unintentional awkward comedic value.

In fact, the entire thing to me is completely out of character and inconsistently written in comparison to

No it's an alternative scene to explain mana transfer, in the original Rin and Shirou had awkward sex where Shirou moved too fast and made Rin cry and it was very cringe.

No clue. Considering it's the exchange of bodily fluids, I'd have just used a blood transfer or something that would actually make sense. Heck, maybe just use it as an excuse to have them kiss or something. Now it's just weird and Rin being awkward for no real reason.

No.
The sex is in the original PC VN released back in 2004. This one, the 'dolphins', is from the 2007 PS2 version, Realta Nua.
Basically, the story changed how things went from the 18+ version to the all-ages version in this part. Ufotable went for the Realta Nua one.

I understand it is a connection between Rin and Shirou but why was Shirou naked is the mystery. The part where his magic circuits where being dosed in mana was great but the part after was just weird.

Oh, subs were already out. So let's see the preview. Saber saying "With caster gone, you shouldn't be here" - So we'll see Assassin and Saber at least speaking. "We'll put an end to your Holy Grail right now!" - So we have at least a confrontation with Rin and Gil. "I'm not good enough to cut through his Noble Phantasms" - Shirou vs Gil's noble phantasms? And him being a nub. "You flithy sham. Learn firsthand the difference between counterfeits and the real thing!" - Gil being Gil. But is that a mistranslatin - shouldn't it be "Faker"? Anyway so Shirou vs Gil at least.

Yes, next episode should be around 5000 times better. But maybe they will all just talk and it will end before anyone fights. I'm half expecting that at this point.

I really enjoyed this episode, it was very fun to watch, best girl Rin was being best girl, Saber development is easily better than the VN UBW version of the novel, Shirou was pretty funny in this episode especially ''Idiot, don't be so rough on the pillows.'' Shinji finally fulfilled his wish, the flashbacks easily beat the pointless sex scene.

I understand why people dislike this episode but I really loved it. It wasn't one of my favorites but I found it as likable as any other episode.

But grammar and actually meaning something in the language it is said is irrelevant to spell casting, I believe.

She meant "heiteres Wetter" probably. In Realta Nua, she is actually speaking Japanese. Yes, the German was there too and it's awful (even though it doesn't matter) and I was glad the game didn't make Ueda speak that horrible German. Well, actually there were voice files, but they weren't used.
