Audio problem: When Magneto is saying, "Should I successfully vindicate myself in what I will generously assume is a fair trial," his mouth movement is out of sync with some of the dialogue.

Continuity mistake: When Rogue siphons the doctor's medical knowledge, she does so with her bare left hand. When the shot changes and she orders the nurses to prep an IV and get Madelyne Pryor to a room, her bare hand is suddenly gloved. (00:19:02)

Madelyne Pryor: [In labor pains] Logan, he's, he's here!
Wolverine: Who? Apocalypse?
Madelyne Pryor: The baby!
Wolverine: Oh, crap!
Trivia: Some episode intros feature a shot of Gambit cradling Rogue on the basketball court, and she proceeds to cover his mouth with her hand and then kiss her hand. This is recreated from a panel in X-Men #4, though in that panel, Rogue punched Gambit in the mouth instead of giving him a simulated kiss.
Question: Why did writers decide to kill Gambit off?
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.
