Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode, Rogue says to Cyclops "You look nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs," to which he responds, "I just wish I knew what was happening in there." Cyclops then immediately looks to his right and sees military vehicles approaching and says "We've got trouble." At the beginning of this episode, the same scene is shown again, only this time Gambit says "If that was me in there you wouldn't have to worry" before the military vehicles are shown to be arriving.

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.
