The Phoenix Saga (2): The Dark Shroud - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Xavier and Cyclops begin arguing in the hallway, the door and doorway to Jean's hospital room are visible over and behind Xavier's right shoulder, and a chart is a few feet to the right of the door. A few shots later when Cyclops is telling Xavier that he failed to warn everyone, the chart is still visible, but now the door is missing, with the wall now appearing to be longer. (00:06:40)

The Phoenix Saga (2): The Dark Shroud - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Xavier is looking at Moira and Banshee from his window, as the camera zooms in on the latter two, you can see they are facing each other, and Moira has her left arm on or near Banshee's hip. When the shot changes, they are standing side by side, with Moira's arms wrapped around Banshee's left arm. (00:17:41)

The Phoenix Saga (1): Sacrifice - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Cyclops is saying "They'll be safe in the isolation chamber " he and Jean Grey are standing near the lockers on the left side of the screen, four floor tiles away from the door. When the shot changes, the two of them have suddenly moved to the right, in line with the door, and only two floor tiles away from it. The floor tiles themselves are also now drastically smaller.

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Plot hole: In the season one episode The Cure, when Pyro and Avalanche are in the bar on Muir Island waiting for Mystique to arrive, Avalanche says "This friend of yours better show up soon or I'm going back to jail, just for something to do!" Rogue then comes in and Pyro suggests to Avalanche that Rogue could be Mystique, to which Avalanche responds "What do you mean it could be? Don't you know what she looks like?", leading Pyro to tell Avalanche that Mystique is a shape-shifter. This dialogue implies that Avalanche has no idea who Mystique is, which is further substantiated when Pyro and Avalanche kidnap Mystique later in the episode while she is in the guise of Dr. Adler, and Avalanche didn't recognize Mystique when she revealed her true form. However in this episode it is shown that Pyro and Avalanche were both previously members of Mystique's Brotherhood of Mutants, so Avalanche should already know who Mystique is without Pyro having to tell him. Rogue was also a member of that group yet neither Pyro nor Avalanche recognize her.

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.
