A Deal with the Devil - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: When the X-mansion is shown at the end of the episode, the landscaping around it is different than what was shown early in the episode. When the mansion was first shown, there is a shrub in the shape of a circle on the lawn across from the mansion, but at the end of the episode, the circle-shaped shrub has turned into some bushes. The bushes and trees around the mansion are also different looking and at the far side of the mansion the shrubs have grown taller. Additionally, when Wolverine is walking away from the mansion at the end, a hedge-wall has appeared next to the mansion. It's actually common for the landscaping outside the mansion to vary drastically from episode to episode. This is the first time I noticed it changing within the same episode. (00:04:25 - 00:19:25)

A Deal with the Devil - S5-E3

Other mistake: After Omega Red stabilizes the nuclear sub while it is moving, the military somehow has a live video feed from outside the sub despite the fact that they didn't send any other submarines out to monitor the mission. (00:09:00)

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.
