Just finished Saber. It wasn't bad. I mean, was it as hype as Zero One's first episode? No. But we can't and shouldn't expect every first episode to be that hype. Some series need a slow start to get the fires going.
As for the people talking about Touma suddenly knowing how to fight after transforming, if you pay attention to the very obvious dialogue and flashbacks, you can see that he's suffering from some form of memory loss. It might be a bit of a stretch, but I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that as a child he was being trained to be the next wielder of Rekka.
