>Wait so, Rider says that servants are summoned based on which is most similar to their master,

This only applies to people who summon a hero without a Catalyst to choose specifically.

Shirou had Avalon within him that acted as a catalyst for Saber. Technically the magic circle used to summon Saber was connected to her as well (she helped create it in the 4th war).

Rin accidentally used what would become a catalyst for the heroic spirit EMIYA, the pendant that Archer carried his entire life.

The complete description for Berserker's axe-sword says that the Einzberns made a full-blown temple to Herakles to make sure they got the right servant. This was their catalyst. His weapon is part of the temple's foundations.

No, that was the pendant. The jewel was far less important than that.

Also you'd need quite a jaw to swallow that thing.

UBW is amusing at times, but there's a lot of exposition.

I have to forcibly keep myself from fast-forwarding through all the explanations on why Shirou is following Kiritsugu's ideals. It's very dry. Rin isn't really helping, either. She's not really functioning well as a romantic interest.

I really like it, but at the same time... I can't stand it.
