Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Blob is looking out the hotel window, the window panes have been opened at a 90° angle. When the shot changes, the opened panes are no longer visible. When the shot changes again, the windows are slid open, which would make it impossible for the panes to have been positioned at a 90° angle in the first place. (00:09:07)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Bishop is shooting an energy blast at Gambit, he has three playing cards and five poker chips in front of him, while Wolverine also has three cards. When Wolverine is telling them both to sit down, Bishop now has four cards and eight chips, and Wolverine has four cards as well. Additionally, the deck has moved closer to the center of the table, and the arrangement of Wolverine's chips and the arrangement of Gambit's cards and chips have changed. (00:08:35)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Apocalypse is ordering War and Archangel to attack the tanks, Archangel's decollete is the same light blue color as his skin, when it should be the darker shade of blue that his outfit his, since his outfit leaves his face and hands exposed. The photograph Xavier shows Rogue of Archangel later in the episode also depicts the same error. (00:09:30 - 00:11:12)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Other mistake: When the Lady Gardener touches the flower on her table, it instantly dies, which elicits a shocked reaction from her. This show establishes that mutant powers begin to manifest during puberty, and this character is middle-aged. A character that has been living with their powers for that long shouldn't be shocked at what her powers do. (00:03:56)

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Bishop peeks out of the alley after arriving in the past, there is a wrecked car on the right side of the screen, with a fire hydrant near its front bumper, on an uninterrupted sidewalk. When the shot changes to Bishop stepping out of the alley, the fire hydrant is now by the car's rear bumper, and there is a driveway leading into the alley. Additionally, the building that is behind Bishop changes color from red to green. (00:10:09)

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Bishop is holding out his ID card for the Sentinel to scan, the card is gray with a red stripe on top, a lighter gray stripe underneath it, and a white mark underneath that. When the shot changes, the entire card is the same shade of gray.

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is asking Bishop if he knows him from somewhere, his pupils have been drawn as small black circles inside a blue circle that are the same color as his eyes. Within the same shot, his small pupils suddenly become larger by filling in the rest of the blue circle, and then just as quickly go back to being small. (00:04:27)

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.
