Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers - S1-E16
Visible crew/equipment: During Friday night dinner, after Emily suggests brandy in the living room Lorelai excuses herself, and when she stands up in the wideshot the boom operator is visible at the left side of the screen. (00:31:25)
Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai and Rory are in the kitchen talking about the to-do list, the camera is visible in the reflection on the microwave. You can see the cameraman's hand rotating the control to move the camera as Lorelai sits down. (00:07:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai and Rory are trying to get to Luke's they wind up in the alley, and in the next shot inside Luke's we can see the reflection of the moving camera on the glass door, behind the guy wearing a blue check flannel vest. (00:11:50)
Continuity mistake: While Lorelai and Rory are at Luke's for a very early breakfast, when Miss Patty walks in she's wearing long earrings, but the earrings vanish and then reappear while she's telling Lorelai how badly she feels about Rory and Dean. (00:13:15)
Continuity mistake: When Babette walks through the kitchen's back door to comfort Rory, the porch is visible with its lattice wall and doorknob is to the right, but when Lorelai walks out with Babette in the exterior shot the wall has changed and the doorknob is to the left. The exterior shot looks like the area outside the side living room door, not the kitchen door. (00:19:00)
Continuity mistake: At the start, during dinner things on the sideboard move between wideshots and closeups of Rory. Fun to note: when Emily gets up and follows Richard to his seat, as Emily shouts to Siri that Mr. Gilmore is hungry, the camera pans a bit to the left and a water bottle (it's gone in Rory's closeups) has been placed on the sideboard, beside the sterling bud vase, which would cause Emily to have a fit. Obviously one of the actors or the crew left it there.
Continuity mistake: At Luke's, when Rachel shows Lorelai the photo of the Dragonfly Inn, Rachel says, "It's an old abandoned inn I ran across when I was exploring the other day." So Rachel took the photograph in the last few days, and in the photo the Dragonfly does not have shutters, and does not have a sign hanging over the porch, etc. When Lorelai visits the Dragonfly with Rachel and then with Rory, the shutters and sign have appeared, as well as other changes. (00:04:50 - 00:40:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai talks to Emily at the Independence Inn, a boom mic briefly drops into the shot. (00:21:25)
Visible crew/equipment: While Lorelai and Luke are in the diner's storeroom, just as Lorelai makes a comment about not knowing what's going on in Rachel's head because she's not a Vulcan, the boom mic dips into view over the white container on the top shelf, at the top right side of the screen. (00:30:00)
Other mistake: Rory asks Emily for baby pictures of Lorelai, but Emily says Lorelai burned them all because she had such a big head when she was little. But in "Love and War and Snow" earlier in the season, Emily, Richard and Rory looked at a baby picture of Lorelai in a bunch of petticoats the night Rory stayed over with her grandparents during a snowstorm.
Other mistake: While Luke and Lorelai are talking about Rachel in the storage room, after Lorelai places some jars on the shelf, the jars on the shelf behind Lorelai turn, change position or vanish, between shots.
Continuity mistake: Lorelai and Luke are talking in the storage room. The turkey gravy behind Luke keeps rearranging itself.
Visible crew/equipment: When Paris drops her book on the floor in English class, to jolt Rory out of her daydream stupor, a boom mic is visible above Liza Weil's head. (00:16:45)
Love, Daisies and Troubadours - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Lorelai tries to remember the name of the guy who used to run the auto-body shop, she opens the kitchen's back door in the interior shot, but in the next exterior shot Lorelai is walking out of the side living room door, with the window beside it. (00:06:15)
Sadie, Sadie - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: At the diner, when Lorelai stands at the counter telling Luke about Max's proposal, in the shots facing Lorelai we see the red ketchup bottle on the table behind her is either standing upright or lying on its side, changing a few times. (00:07:05)
Sadie, Sadie - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Richard enters to announce Rory being in the top 3% in her class his handkerchief is shown with 1 point. When he then walks to pour a drink and turns around, it has 2 points showing.
Sadie, Sadie - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Lorelai and Rory get home from the upsetting dinner from Richard attacking Dean, while sitting at the table one shot shows the Twinkies arranged on the plate in front of Rory on the table. In a few other shots, you see a few twinkies missing and not arranged.
Other mistake: When Lorelai asks her mother which veil she should choose for her upcoming wedding to Max, Emily responds that her head is too big for a veil, and she could consider a tiara. When Lorelai responds quizzically with 'umm a tiara?' Emily says 'that's what I wore'. However, in s1e8, the photo album Rory looks through with her Grandparents features a picture of Emily and Richard that Emily calls their 'wedding photo' (in which she is pictured wearing a veil, not a tiara). (00:43:15)
Red Light on the Wedding Night - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Rory and Lorelai are testing cakes for the wedding at Fran's bakery, Rory is seen taking pieces out of the raspberry cake several times. However when the angle changes you can see that the cake is whole as if none of it had been eaten. (00:00:45)
Red Light on the Wedding Night - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Lorelai, Max, and Rory are in the diner, just as Luke tells them that he's almost out of the blueberry pancakes and he can't make more, the regular menu which is set upright on the table suddenly becomes the "lunch" menu, and then it's back to the regular menu. This occurs well before Luke even brings Max the lunch menu because Max is taking too long to decide. (00:13:35)
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.
