Sanctuary: Part 2 - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: The security footage of Cortez betraying Magneto is slightly different than the event itself. Cortez stated that Magneto would serve the mutant cause better as a martyr and then jettisoned his chambers into space. The security footage somehow has a shot of Magneto's chambers being jettisoned from a long distance with Cortez's martyr comment voiced over. (00:14:40)

Sanctuary: Part 2 - S4-E7

Other mistake: When Cortez is using the remote control for the power inhibitor collar to fend off Gambit and cause him pain, you can see that Cortez is actually pushing the "Mutant Power On" button and not the "Pain" button that's just above it. (00:16:25)

Sanctuary: Part 2 - S4-E7

Plot hole: This episode establishes that Magneto lost his family in the Holocaust, which is taken from the comics. However, the season 1 episode Enter Magneto established that Magneto lost his family when a guerilla army occupied his country.

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 1 - S4-E8

Plot hole: Gambit remarks that Shard is his kind of time traveler. However, Shard was inside the mansion and Gambit was outside when he said that, and he had never previously met her, so there was no way he could have known who she was without having even seen her or even that she was a time traveler.

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 1 - S4-E8

Plot hole: Beast comments on Mr. Sinister's new-found time travel abilities. However, Beast has no way of knowing that Mr. Sinister is time traveling. He only knows that Mr. Sinister is using portals, which could just as well be for teleportation. (00:18:40)

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 2 - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: The length of the chain attached to the collar of Archangel's guard dog varies. When the dog is first shown, the chain is only shown to be around three feet long. When the dog discovers Psylocke, it is able to run several feet towards her and away from the wall where it was chained up. (00:09:35)

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

Trivia: After Bishop travels into the past, he hears one kid telling another that they will be playing the new Punisher game "Assassin." When the Punisher was first being developed, he was originally going to be called The Assassin.

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.
