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)

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 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).

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Character mistake: After Gambit escapes from Wolverine and Bishop, Bishop says to Wolverine "No wonder you sent me back to change the future, because everything that happens is your fault." Wolverine didn't send Bishop back to change the future. He insisted on going back himself, but Bishop forced Wolverine out of the mission and inserted himself into the role because he felt Wolverine was too old to succeed. (00:10:03)

Factual error: The U.S. flag has 13 stripes. When Bishop is telling the X-Men how Gambit's betrayal will affect the future, the flag shown flying outside the Capitol building is missing two stripes. In the next shot showing the flag draped over the coffin, it has at least 17 stripes. (00:04:25)

Continuity mistake: When Mystique first enters the room where she plans to murder Senator Kelly, there are two bookshelves on the left, with the one closest to the camera being shorter than the one next to it. When Gambit and Mystique are getting ready to square off, the bookshelves are in the background, and they have swapped places. (00:15:52 - 00:16:15)

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.
