And maybe it wouldn't have been so boring or stupid if they hadn't done the same thing already many times over in the previous episodes--even with the same people. By this point, I'm wondering what the hell they even have the swords for. "Guys, those things you're both holding... yeah, pointy end goes into other man." There's just no technique or art to the fighting at this point. 
[ecs]And poor Kotomine, you just know the guy is going to die, his power is a bunch of goo for chrissake.
[/ecs] I didn't really think Gil's sword was that great either. I thought it looked rather stupid actually. [ecs]Oh, and that whole thing with Sabre suddenly out of nowhere saying something about how Shirou was her scabbard and a new noble phantasm/Avalon thing, then both of them instantly having "invincibility mode" was rather abrupt and lame. [/ecs]
(Btw, am I the only who doesn't give a damn what happens to Illya?)
[ecs]And then we realize that in the end, Shirou isn't all that affected with Sabre leaving, despite his undying love, and really, Sabre just wanted to go back to the past so she could have a nap without Shirou causing her problems every two minutes.
All's well that ends well. [/ecs]Alright, I'm being somewhat harsh. There were parts of this series that I felt were enjoyable and well done. Episode 14 I actually felt was a cut above a lot of episodes not only in the series, but in other shows as well. Yeah, I think the ending was crap, but at least it kept me watching until the end, despite the good and bad, and as said previously, there have been many shows that I cannot say the same for. Things I would have improved in a nutshell:
A smarter main character. More creative fighting scenes. And a different last episode. (Obviously I could add more, but I'll leave room for others.)
