Time Fugitives: Part 2 - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Cyclops is asking Jean if she can locate Graydon Creed in the mansion, the two of them are standing in the same spot they were in the previous episode. However, in the previous episode, this occurred before they destroyed the fence and began to infiltrate the mansion grounds. In this episode, they have already infiltrated the mansion grounds before Cyclops asks Jean to locate Creed, so they couldn't be standing in the same place as before. (00:15:49 - 00:16:30)

Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bishop is shown returning to the year 2055, he looks out the window to a see a pristine looking city, and claims his intervention in the past to be a success. This is a contradiction to Bishop's return when it was originally shown at the end of the season 1 episode Days of Future Past: Part 2, in which he appeared in a run-down city and remarks that everything looks the same as it did when he left. (00:05:15)

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is visiting the comatose Carol Danvers in the hospital, Danvers' hair is parted down the middle and her bedsheets go all the way up to her neck. A couple of shots later, she has a lock of hair going down the middle of her forehead, and her sheets only go up to around her armpits. (00:20:17)

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.
