Old Soldiers - S5-E11

Other mistake: The Red Skull reveals that Cocteau is the one who sounded the alarm on Wolverine and Captain America, but at the time the alarm starts going off, there are no switches on the walls for him to have pressed, not to mention he was shown to have been standing in the middle of the corridor out of arm's reach of either wall.

Old Soldiers - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: When Red Skull is leaving Wolverine and Captain America alone, he sets Captain America's shield on a table and Wolverine is shown to be hanging from stocks by his wrists with Captain America on his left and the table on his right at roughly a 45 degree angle. In a wide shot after Red Skull has left the room, the shield has vanished from the table and Wolverine is now several feet from where he originally was, with Captain America roughly at his 12 o'clock and the table roughly at his 3 o'clock. (00:10:45)

Old Soldiers - S5-E11

Other mistake: When Wolverine is carving "HERO" into Cocteau's tombstone, he is shown to be using all three claws on his right hand to do so, but the carving looks like it was only carved with one sharp point. If he was using all three claws, each point of articulation for each letter should have been tripled. (00:19:05)

Character mistake: When Beast is showing Gambit and Rogue the news report about Cannonball, it is shown to be featured in a magazine called Philologist's Quarterly. When Beast leaves the room, he remarks "Ah, there's my 'Philologist's Quarterly'." as if he didn't already see it. (00:04:25)

Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that.
