Other mistake: After Omega Red stabilizes the nuclear sub while it is moving, the military somehow has a live video feed from outside the sub despite the fact that they didn't send any other submarines out to monitor the mission. (00:09:00)
Audio problem: When Wolverine says "In a toxic nuclear powder keg," his mouth is not moving. (00:08:10)
Continuity mistake: When Storm says to Wolverine "You know small spaces overwhelm me," you can see that her lightning bolt earrings are suddenly missing. (00:06:30)
Continuity mistake: The number of "rows" on the purple devices on Omega Red's face varies throughout the episode, sometimes even changing quantity in the same shot.
Continuity mistake: When Wolverine says "Who do these genius spy-catchers think they're dealing with, Winnie the Pooh?!" his tongue is flesh-colored instead of being a normal reddish hue. (00:04:30)
Continuity mistake: When Wolverine says "For a boy scout! Omega Red eats the stuff for breakfast!" his normally-red belt is yellow, goes back to being red a couple of shots later, and then is yellow again a couple of shots after that. (00:04:45)
Character mistake: The Colonel states that Hilo, Hawaii is about 120 miles from Pearl Harbor. It is actually more than 200 miles. (00:03:25)
Factual error: When Omega Red is shown a photograph of Hawaii, the island of Niihau is missing, and Kauai is too close to Oahu. (00:03:15)
Continuity mistake: When the colonel is talking to Omega Red on the giant monitor, he is standing in different spots throughout the scene depending on the shot. (00:02:45 - 00:04:10)
Continuity mistake: When Omega Red was frozen at the end of the season 2 episode "Red Dawn", his mouth was open. When the military discovers him at the beginning of this episode, his mouth is closed. (00:02:30)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: The final shot of the episode shows Jubilee among the group of X-Men. However, she was not present in the group shots that preceded this one. (00:20:40)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: When the group is standing together in a circle at the end, Xavier is sort of in the center of the circle and Rogue and Storm are several feet to his right. When the shot changes, Rogue and Storm are suddenly right next to Xavier. (00:19:25)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: When Jean Grey hugs Cyclops, her hands are colored blue. (00:19:25)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: When Xavier and the others are approaching Cyclops, Storm, Rogue and Wolverine, Magneto is shown wearing his helmet and Gambit is shown wearing his trenchcoat. When it changes to an overhead shot of the group, Magneto is no longer wearing his helmet and Gambit is no longer wearing his trenchcoat and his normally-black headgear is colored blue. (00:19:20)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: When Beast says to Warlock "We are at your disposal," Magneto is suddenly clean-shaven. (00:16:35)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Other mistake: When Forge says "Now we need offensive power," he opens up a containment bubble with no one inside it. The bubbles are transparent, so he would have known whether or not someone was inside it and it would make no sense for him to open up an empty bubble since he was in need of reinforcements. (00:15:55)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Revealing mistake: When Forge says "That's where we'll begin our assault," his mustache disappears from his face. (00:14:50)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Revealing mistake: The shot of Cameron Hodge glaring at Xavier after Xavier asks him about his lack of humanity is a recycled shot from the previous episode. (00:14:30)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: When Xavier is first shown in his containment bubble, he is shown with his hands resting at the center of his hover-chair with his left hand on top of the right. When the shot changes, his hands are suddenly separated and at the sides of his chair. (00:14:00)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: When Cameron Hodge says to Wolverine "The X-factor is ours," his left hand is on Wolverine's chin. In the very next shot, his hand is suddenly no longer on his chin. (00:13:45)
Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
