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 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 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 the group is talking to Cameron Hodge's Phalanx facsimile, sometimes Forge is behind Beast on his left, Mr. Sinister is behind Forge on his left, and Warlock is behind Forge and Mr. Sinister. Other times Warlock is behind Beast on his left and Forge and Mr. Sinister are not in the shot. (00:10:45 - 00:12:45)

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.

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.
