The Cure - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Gambit and Wolverine are about to fight each other, Wolverine's claws are extended, and Gambit has a kinetically charged playing card raised in his right hand. When Rogue intervenes, Wolverine's claws are suddenly retracted, his hands are incorrectly colored white, and Gambit's right arm is down at his side, not holding any card. A couple of shots later, Wolverine's claws are once again extended. (00:07:15)

The Cure - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Cable has broken into Warren's lab from the balcony, the doorknobs on the double-door are intact. As the scene progresses, one or both doorknobs will disappear and reappear, and the broken glass on the one door will be intact. Additionally, when the opened door is first shown, there are a couple of broken pieces of glass on the floor next to it. When the shot changes, the pieces of glass are gone. (00:02:35 - 00:04:30)

Other mistake: When Rogue presses the button on the intercom to talk to Dr. Adler, you can see that she does not actually touch the button, but rather her finger is above it. (00:11:30)

The Cure - S1-E9

Factual error: The commercial airplane that Rogue is piggy-backing to Muir Island has no overhead storage bins. Just a shelf running the length of the cabin with luggage stacked on top, which is not something that the FAA or any other national aviation authority would permit. (00:09:20)

The Unstoppable Juggernaut - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When the team arrives at the destroyed mansion at the end of the previous episode, Cyclops' seat is blue, Rogue says "It can't be" while raising her right hand up to her mouth in disbelief, and Wolverine is growling and extending his claws. When the team is shown arriving at the destroyed mansion at the beginning of this episode, Cyclops' seat is now light-red, Rogue says "It can't be" while her arms remain at her sides, and a silent Wolverine is casually putting on his mask and walking towards the exit ramp of the Blackbird.

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.
