The Fundamental Things Apply - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Lorelai is in Luke's Diner talking to Luke. Lorelai is wearing a red sweater vest over a white blouse. When Luke is behind the counter, every time the camera faces Lorelai, the left side of her blouse goes from being tucked in under the vest (as if the vest were hastily put on), to being untucked (as it should be) quite a few times.

The Fundamental Things Apply - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Rory comes into the room to answer the phone and sees Paris avoiding the call because it's her boyfriend Jamie, she empties the contents of her school bag onto the desk, including her mobile phone. Then later in the scene when Rory suggests Paris use her mobile phone to call Jamie, she pulls it out of her bag again, despite having left it on the table all but half a minute earlier.

An Affair to Remember - S4-E6

Die, Jerk - S4-E8

The Incredible Sinking Lorelais - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: Dean calls Rory, and towards the end of the conversation mentions getting his first cell phone. This is false. He's had a cell phone the whole series. Paris even calls it in the season 2 episode "Can't Get Started" when Rory and Dean are at Sookie's wedding.

Afterboom - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: Right before Lorelai goes outside of the Dragonfly to talk to Jason you can see she is standing behind a desk, then later Michel says that he is sick of sitting on the floor and wonders when the desk is coming.

Luke Can See Her Face - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: In this episode, Lorelai tells Luke that she needs to tell the plumber that rooms 10, 12, and 15 have no water pressure, but earlier in this season when she gives the presentation at the town meeting about the Inn to get her permits approved, she says that the inn will only have ten rooms. It is also mentioned in the last episode of the season when Lorelai puts her parents in room 12. (00:04:10)

We Got Us a Pippi Virgin - S5-E5

Emily Says Hello - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai and Christopher are at the inn Georgia is with them at the table in her high chair, but in a few shots the high chair is empty despite the fact that Lorelai supposedly turns to talk to Georgia.

So... Good Talk - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When Lane delivers lunch from Luke's to Rory in the bookstore, the couple seen outside (man in black jacket and woman in white coat) are seen approaching and picking up a magazine not once but four times. They re-approach and pick up the magazine in each camera shot of Lane. (00:27:45)
