Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gambit and Wolverine are sparring in the Danger Room, at one point Gambit dives onto a piston and then rolls off moments before it smashes him into another piston, with a piece of the bottom right of his trenchcoat being torn off in the process. When Jubilee is explaining to everyone that she was trying to help Gambit, his trenchcoat is now untorn. (00:11:07 - 00:11:43)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Sentinel is resting against the building while lying in wait for Jubilee, the building itself has a solid exterior with the occasional window. When the shot changes, it is now a glass building. Additionally, when the Sentinel was resting against the building, its entire body was obscured, but when the shot changes, part of the right side of its body was sticking out. (00:14:35)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The Sentinel that is intercepting Jubilee when she is running back home to check on her foster parents is initially following her along the sidewalk from behind, but suddenly catches up to her in a perpendicular path from the street. There are only two Sentinels shown in this scene and the other one caught her from the front as it turned a corner, so it couldn't have been a different one. (00:14:40)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Plot hole: Wolverine bails out on the mission to destroy the files at the Mutant Registration Center to instead go look for Jubilee after she goes missing. When the rest of the team arrives, Wolverine is already there waiting for them. They flew to the Mutant Registration Center in a jet and their mission briefing heavily implied that they needed to leave immediately, so there is no way Wolverine could have arrived before them if he was off looking for Jubilee first.

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Other mistake: In the scene where Professor X uses his psychic powers to deduce that Jubilee is trying to escape the mansion, there is a semi-dissolve edit that simultaneously shows a close-up of Professor X with his left hand on his forehead and a counterpart image of Jubilee hiding around the corner. If you look closely at Professor X in the counterpart image of Jubilee, his left arm and hand are shown to be on his hover-chair's armrest and not his forehead.

Night of the Sentinels: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Morph fools the guards into going into a different room, you can see him transform back into his regular self in silhouette, and his jacket suddenly goes down below his knees, similar to Gambit's, whereas Morph's jacket stops at his waist. (00:03:44)

Trivia: Following Disney's acquisition of Fox, the creators of this show pitched a revival to stream on Disney+. Producer Larry Houston has said he would come out of retirement specifically to work on this. The revival - titled X-Men '97 - was announced on Disney+ Day in November of 2021 for a 2024 premiere date, with much of the surviving original cast returning.

More trivia for X-Men

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know why Gambit was featured less and less in episodes as the show went on? He was one of the most popular characters in not just X-Men, but all of Marvel Comics around the time this series first aired, so unless it had something to do with his voice actor's contract, it seems odd they wouldn't have utilized him more.

Answer: Chris Potter, the original Gambit voice actor, did indeed quit the role in the 4th season. His last episode was The Phalanx Covenant Part 1 so it seems reasonable that Fox would limit the use of the character even though it was recast. It doesn't appear that Potter left the role due to animosity, he stated in an interview that he wished to play Gambit in the first live action X-Men film.
