Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: When the Sentinel is first walking through the mall, its footsteps are so heavy that it shakes the building. When it is shown walking past the shop Gambit is in, there is no shaking of the building, presumably done so Gambit wouldn't notice it. (00:04:08)

Continuity mistake: When Jubilee is first seen eavesdropping on her foster parents, you can see the shelves of their entertainment unit are empty. Moments later when her foster mother is questioning if Jubilee is really a mutant, her husband shows her what Jubilee did to the VCR just by touching it, and you can see the bottom two shelves now have items on them. Additionally, the coffee table goes from having a blue top with a brown border within it, to being a solid brown top altogether. (00:01:39 - 00:02:17)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jubilee's bedroom is first shown, the door is on the left side of the wall, she has a poster next to the door of what appears to be a chicken in a boxing outfit with gloves, a bookshelf next to that poster, a nightstand next to her bed and a poster of a girl playing drums on the wall behind the nightstand. After the Sentinel crashes through the window and pulls her bed out of the house, the nightstand and drummer poster have disappeared. When her foster mother comes into the room to see if everything is OK, the door is suddenly in the center of the wall, and the room itself, save for one poster on the wall that the head of the bed was on, is now completely empty. (00:01:54 - 00:02:51)

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)

Factual error: When the Sentinel reaches out to try to grab the dog, it smashes its hand against the grass and produces numerous cracks in the lawn with a metal clanging sound. Neither of these things would happen. The grass would have a bunch of divots in it, and the sound would be similar to something heavy falling in dirt. (00:02:09)

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.

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.
