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)

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)

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Plot hole: In the season one episode The Cure, when Pyro and Avalanche are in the bar on Muir Island waiting for Mystique to arrive, Avalanche says "This friend of yours better show up soon or I'm going back to jail, just for something to do!" Rogue then comes in and Pyro suggests to Avalanche that Rogue could be Mystique, to which Avalanche responds "What do you mean it could be? Don't you know what she looks like?", leading Pyro to tell Avalanche that Mystique is a shape-shifter. This dialogue implies that Avalanche has no idea who Mystique is, which is further substantiated when Pyro and Avalanche kidnap Mystique later in the episode while she is in the guise of Dr. Adler, and Avalanche didn't recognize Mystique when she revealed her true form. However in this episode it is shown that Pyro and Avalanche were both previously members of Mystique's Brotherhood of Mutants, so Avalanche should already know who Mystique is without Pyro having to tell him. Rogue was also a member of that group yet neither Pyro nor Avalanche recognize her.

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.
