Fire Made Flesh - S1-E3

Character mistake: When Cyclops is expressing his opposition to sending his infant son into the future to cure his virus, he states he won't be like his own father and abandon his son. The problem is Cyclops' father didn't abandon him, but rather saved his life. Their family airplane was being attacked, and they were about to be abducted by the Shi'ar. Cyclops' father strapped a parachute to him and got him out of the plane before it crashed. Cyclops learned and made peace with all of this in the original series episode "Orphan's End." (00:25:04)

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Other mistake: At the end of the previous episode, Magneto unleashed a global EMP that deactivated all of Bastion's human-Sentinel hybrids and froze them in place. At the beginning of this episode, the man in the mob wearing the letterman's jacket who is chasing Jubilee and Roberto is one of the hybrids that captured the two at Roberto's parents' fundraiser. Given that the EMP neutralized all of the hybrids, this man should not have been running around with a mob. (00:03:08)

Valerie Cooper: Most other nations don't allow a terrorist to be their leader.

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: When Cable scoffs at the uniform Cyclops gives him to wear, Cyclops asks if he was expecting black leather. This is a reference to the first X-Men film, when Wolverine scoffed at the X-Men's black leather uniforms, only for Cyclops to ask him if he preferred yellow spandex instead.

More trivia for X-Men '97

Answer: The post-credits scene from season 1 implies that Apocalypse is going to bring him back to life as his Horseman of Death, which Gambit was at one point in the comics. I also read that former showrunner Beau DeMayo had planned for Gambit to be the central character of season 3, which would have been an adaptation of the Age of Apocalypse storyline from the comics, which seems to imply Gambit will eventually be freed from Apocalypse's control. Whether that is what ends up happening remains to be seen, since DeMayo was fired by Marvel before season 1 premiered.
