X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: During Gambit's flashback, the chosen one for the Assassin's Guild is shown to be placing their tithe box on the stump of a tree roughly halfway between the center ring and the outer edge. When the shot changes, the tithe box has suddenly moved to the center of the stump, and the tithe box itself is suddenly wider and shorter and has rotated 90°. (00:05:00)

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)

Cold Vengeance - S1-E6

Other mistake: When the hotel clerk is checking Gambit, Storm and Jubilee into their room, he determines that they are mutants by seeing footage of Storm using her powers at the Salem Center Mall from the very first episode. While it's not unreasonable that security footage from the mall could exist showing Storm use her powers, the footage also shows an extremely close zoom-in on Storm's left eye, which is extremely unlikely, unless the security camera somehow guessed she was about to activate her mutant powers. (00:13:27)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Other mistake: When Wolverine, Rogue and Jean Grey are falling down the hole, they are all falling at the same rate, yet Wolverine lands a couple seconds after the other two. If anything, he should have landed first because he weighs more than them, especially since his bones are coated with metal, and Rogue and Jean Grey are shown to be slowing their falls by using their flight and telekinetic powers respectively. Wolverine also appears to land a couple feet in front of the hole.

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

Continuity mistake: Shortly after Wolverine, Rogue and Jean Grey enter the Thieves Guild's mansion, they fall down a trap door. However, the trap door is not there when they first enter the mansion, instead only appearing in the shot where they step on it.

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.

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Other mistake: When Bella Donna is saying that Gambit was wise to leave the Thieves Guild, there is a black horizontal line on Gambit's right cheek that disappears and reappears in sync with his blinking.

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)

Phaneron

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)

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

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.
