Deadly Reunions - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Numerous episodes depict the War Room as being a circular room completely enclosed from the rest of the underground facilities. However, when Wolverine is confronting Sabretooth in the War Room, it is a wide open area with numerous corridors. (00:16:23 - 00:17:05)

Continuity mistake: When Sabretooth is watching Senator Kelly's press conference, his chair is directly facing the TV. After Jubilee turns off the TV and walks towards Sabretooth, his chair has now rotated roughly 90° clockwise. (00:14:47)

Deadly Reunions - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Senator Kelly is giving a press conference to declare his candidacy for President, at the start there is a flag immediately to his right. When the shot changes, after a few seconds the camera pans out and the flag has now moved several more feet to his right. (00:14:05)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Jubilee is saying goodbye to her foster parents, the topper on the roof of the taxi has "Taxi" written in bold lettering. When Jubilee is getting in the taxi, the lettering is nowhere near as bold, and an extra light has appeared on each side of the taxi, under the headlights. (00:20:01)

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

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.

Phaneron

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.
