Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is flying toward Adler's lab, you can see the building is several stories off the ground. When she flies in through the hole in the roof, the interior of the lab is on the top-level, whereas the previous episode showed that the lab was on the ground level. (00:12:55)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: The exploding playing card that Gambit uses to destroy a few Sentinels and draw the rest above ground is cleverly shown to be the ace of spades (also known as the death card in some folklore), but the card he is shown charging up before the Sentinels see it is the 2 of diamonds.

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Mystique starts walking away from Rogue, her footsteps are audible, and she takes about four steps. When the shot changes to a closeup of Rogue asking why Mystique tried to turn her into one of Apocalypse's slaves, if you listen carefully, you can hear Mystique take about ten more steps. When the shot changes again, Mystique is suddenly only a couple steps away from Rogue. (00:18:58)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Jean is using her telekinetic powers to rescue Senator Kelly from Master Mold's lab, she drops him on the floor in the middle of the lab. When Cyclops gets blasted by Master Mold after he and Jean run to grab Kelly, Jean and Kelly are suddenly inside the mine shaft. A couple of shots later, Jean and Kelly are now standing at Master Mold's feet. (00:15:42)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is asking Xavier why the X-Men must all die to save Senator Kelly, the top of Wolverine's mask is incorrectly colored blue. A few shots later, this portion of the mask is correctly colored yellow, but then the portion of his mask by his right cheek is also yellow, when it should be black. (00:09:48)

Continuity mistake: After Blob knocks Cyclops to the ground, Jean helps him up, and the two of them are standing a step away from Blob. The shot changes to Blob pointing and laughing for roughly a second, and when the shot changes again, Cyclops and Jean have disappeared, with not enough time to have moved offscreen. (00:12:20)

Continuity mistake: When Trask's voice is first heard coming from Gyrich's cell phone, the phone is in the top left corner of the floor tile. When the shot changes, the phone is now in the center of four smaller tiles. (00:09:12)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Xavier's watch magnetically clings to his hoverchair, the body of the watch is pointing at 1 o'clock. In the next shot, it is pointing at 12 o'clock, the minute hand has advanced roughly 4 minutes, and the watch has also moved down the chair and to the right a few inches (note the contour lines on the chair as the visual cue).

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.

Phaneron

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.
