Now that I progroessed up through episode 11 of UBW, I have to say I'm actually glad I read up on Archer's true origin.

That talk he had with Shirou wouldn't have made much sense to me if I hadn't. But like this I can see how he remembers his past and how he changed. The bitterness of failing to be what he wanted... and the frustration at seeing Shirou go down the same route, knowing that he'll have to go through the same painful things.

It's quite sad, but also very nicely done.
