Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When the quarantine sign is being stapled to the door, it is black and yellow striped, with an orange stripe running the opposite direction, and "Quarantine" written on the orange part. When the mob is trying to get into the building, the sign is now gray with a single yellowish-gray stripe running diagonally across it, and no writing. (00:10:14 - 00:10:44)

Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bishop is trying to disperse the mob, the circular patches on his shoulders are red with yellow borders, and a thin circle design is within the red circle itself. Moments later when he throws Wolverine off himself, the red circles are now blank, and their borders are black instead of yellow. (00:11:00 - 00:11:50)

Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: After Storm informs Cyclops that a mob is attacking Bishop, a shot of the rest of the team in the Blackbird shows that Gambit's neck is flesh colored when it is supposed to be black from wearing his headgear (this is corrected when the scene is reprised in the next episode).

Continuity mistake: When Bishop is saying he was trying to save lives, the strap running through Gambit's jacket sleeve is colored blue, when it should be the same brown color as the rest of the jacket. His left hand is also bare, despite the fact that he had been showing his gloves throughout the scene. (00:12:37)

Continuity mistake: When Graydon Creed is first shown giving his testimony, in an overhead shot, we see the front row of the benches in front of him are filled with civilians. When the shot changes, the X-Men are now occupying the row on Creed's right. (00:14:34)

Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Graydon Creed is testifying, the committee is seated at a table just a few feet behind him. When Beast takes the podium, Creed backs up several paces in line with the podium to almost nearly the wall. He couldn't get that close to the wall without stepping over the table.

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.

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.
