They absolutely nailed the delivery on the reveal. Also agreed that the CG on the colossal titan was super bad.

I feel like a fool not realizing Reiner was a shifter after watching ep 17 again where he gets purposely caught by Anne

He reveals that he thought Erin was in the flank that got attacked first and after he learns Eren is in the middle and he gets caught by Annie she starts running that way.

That's what's great about rewatching the series, because they lay out all this information plain as day but you're not looking for any of it so nothing seems out of the ordinary. As soon as you know what happens down the line you start to see all sorts of details that really make you appreciate just how much foreshadowing there actually was.

Like with the scene you mentioned where Reiner gets caught by Annie -- you're so shocked by the fact that main man Reiner just got killed (and then not) that you're not really looking for small clues because you're too focused on the fact that this character almost just died and then came back and it's overwhelming. Going back and watching obviously you know what is going to happen and can parse the scene at a different speed and so the foreshadowing becomes much more clear.
