X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The amount of damage to Cyclops' uniform decreases. When his Danger Room session is first terminated, his uniform is mostly missing around his shoulders and chest. A few shots later, the aforementioned area of his uniform is not as torn up. (00:04:15 - 00:04:50)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The size of the hole beneath the trap door in the Thieves Guild's mansion changes. When Wolverine, Rogue and Jean Grey are shown falling down it, it is easily large enough for the three of them to fall down without bumping into each other. When we see the hole in the ceiling after Rogue destroys the wall that was falling on her, the hole is barely large enough for one person to fit through. The hole also moves closer to the back corner of the room, whereas it appeared to be closer to the back-center of the room once they landed.

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The orientation of Gambit's mini-jet respective to the Blackbird changes. When the Blackbird first lands, the mini-jet is perpendicular to it. When Wolverine, Rogue and Jean Grey go over to inspect the mini-jet, it is suddenly parallel to the Blackbird.

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Reunion: Part 2 - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When the X-Men regain their mutant powers, Jean Grey is suddenly wearing her uniform instead of the casual outfit she was wearing when she was abducted. In the next shot and for the remainder of the episode, she is back to wearing her casual outfit.

Graduation Day - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: When the camera pans around the team after Lilandra saves Xavier, Storm's communicators are colored white whereas they are normally red, and Rogue's gloves are missing below the wrist. (00:18:50)

Graduation Day - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: When Jean Grey is stating how Magneto's powers intensified her own, the left side of her costume around her abdomen is colored yellow whereas it is usually blue (the right side remains blue in this shot). (00:13:30)

Graduation Day - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: When Trish Tilby is giving the news report, she is first shown to be in front of a gray news van. When the shot changes and for the rest of the report, she is standing in front of a blue screen. (00:05:30 - 00:06:45)

Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is restrained in the chair, his gloves alternate between being his usual gloves that are fingerless at the thumb, index and pinkie fingers, to not being fingerless, to him not wearing any gloves at all depending on the shot. (00:10:05)

Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit jumps out of the ventilation shaft, there is no one around him. Then he is suddenly surrounded by guards who could not have converged on him so quickly unless they appeared out of thin air. (00:10:00)

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

Sentinel never sank into sand in other episodes.

Well, it's shown here.

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.
