Dear Emily and Richard - S3-E13

Factual error: When Lorelai arrives at the hospital, Rory says she is xeroxing a report that she needs to fax for Sherry because Sherry didn't make enough copies. No matter how many people the report needed to be faxed to, only one original copy would be needed.

Swan Song - S3-E14

Visible crew/equipment: While Dave, Brian, and Zack are in the car, when Mrs. Kim is speaking to Dave the reflection of the boom pole is visible in the window behind Mrs. Kim, then after she leaves when the car starts moving, the reflection of the reflector screen is also visible in Brian's window.

Face-Off - S3-E15

Visible crew/equipment: After dinner with Emily, when it cuts to Lorelai and Rory rushing into their house, a c-stand is visible at the right side of the screen at the start of the shot, and a standing spotlight lamp is reflected in the wall mirror. Then as Lorelai walks back down the stairs the camera is visible at the left side of the screen, and when Lorelai exits, the spotlight lamp's reflection is visible again. (00:06:25)

Face-Off - S3-E15

Character mistake: In this episode, Rory tells Lorelai that she was cleaning her computer's hard drive because it was full of unopened downloaded files which were consuming her CPU speed. This is wrong, the situation which she's explaining would not use up any extra CPU speed - she may be trying to say her hard drive was extremely fragmented which MIGHT consume some CPU speed (but a tiny amount).

The Big One - S3-E16

Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai and Rory are at Richard's while Emily is away visiting her friends, Richard steps out to answer a call. When Richard returns we can see a blue T-mark taped to the floor behind Rory's side of the sofa. This T-mark is visible again when Richard asks about Rory's speech, because he'd like to be there.

The Big One - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai sits down on the porch swing at Suki's house to talk, they are both sitting right next to each other, sharing the same blanket. During their conversation, when the shots face each of them individually, you can see there is an empty space beside them on the swing, with both sides of the swing's chains visible. (00:20:50)

The Big One - S3-E16

Other mistake: Headmaster Charleston called Rory to discuss the speech contest. His secretary conferenced in Paris. When Headmaster Charleston hung up, the connection between Rory and Paris should have been severed. They were both connected to him, not to each other.

Chosen answer: Lorelai and Christopher get married impulsively in Paris but they get divorced shortly after returning home. I don't know the exact number of days or weeks but they definitely weren't married for more than a couple of months.
