The point with Gajeel's was that before he was hit by the attack, and as such, seeing the future allowed him to dodge and counter-attack rather than be hit, thus gain an advantage. Makes sense to me.

As for the others, I don't care because I read the manga and know what really happened. It wasn't so much flaws in this ep, rather in the last, where they showed Erza fighting and all the extra Romeo/Macao/Droy/Jet etc scenes. This ep actually followed the manga quite well.

Just sayin', but if I had a vision of myself dying... I'd be creeped out :/
