I am not sure why Rogue and Gambit were missing from so many episodes in season 4 and 5. I am a huge 90's Rogue fan so I was upset anytime she was left out. The biggest offending episodes were the "Beyond Good And Evil" episodes on Volume 4. Rogue is in the first episode (out of uniform) and says about 3 lines. After that, she is completely left out of the entire saga. Cyclops even tells her to stay at the mansion while they all go off to fight Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take your strongest team member with you to face two of your deadliest enemies?

That nonsense of refusing to let Rogue fight in any of those battles or even have any speaking lines destroyed the entire "Beyond Good And Evil" saga for me.

And Gambit was absent completely from the 5th season except for cameos in "Bloodlines" and "The Phalanx Part 2". And then he appeared in 3 of the final episodes of the series but with a different voice actor (who sucks). After Season 3 even Jean Grey was regularly ignored. Only Wolverine and Beast were in like every episode.
