It's Just Like Riding a Bike - S7-E19

Plot hole: The dog, Paul Anka, uses the porch steps without a blanket over them. In an earlier episode, Lorelai states that he's afraid of the porch steps when Babette tries to walk him. (00:32:50)

How Many Kropogs to Cape Cod? - S5-E20

Character mistake: On the first day of Rory's internship, she is told she needs to get an ID, to which she replies she never had an ID before, but she got an ID during her first day at Yale, which she and friends later pretended to lose to get new ones.

Lorelai's Graduation Day - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: When Emily, Lorelai and Richard are going to take the picture, Richard lifts his arm as if he is going to put it around Lorelai's shoulder. The angle changes and his hand is no longer raised. He then raises it again before finally lowering it.

A Vineyard Valentine - S6-E15

Factual error: This episode takes place in Connecticut in February. When Luke and Lorelei are leaving her house to go to the Vineyard, they are not wearing coats, there is no snow, and all the trees have leaves and plants are in bloom.

Love and War and Snow - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: Near the end of the episode when Rory comes home and is standing on the porch talking to Lorelai at the door, right before Rory says "Hi" you can see a crew member in the background, standing in the bushes on the other side of Lorelai's jeep and then moving out of sight (toward the left side of the screen). (00:39:20)

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.

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 Lorelais' First Day at Chilton - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: While Rory is at the administration office Miss James gives her the Chilton map, schedule, etc. Then just as Miss James tells Rory that Mr. Winters, the guidance counselor, handles everything except bulimia and pregnancy, Miss James is wearing eyeglasses in the shot facing Rory, but in the previous and following shots she is not.

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. (00:20:00)

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)

Lorelai's Graduation Day - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: When Rory and Lorelai are talking in their kitchen, Rory pushes the cafetière plunger down but then over the conversation it is pictured sometimes raised, and then lowered and then raised again a few different times. (00:04:30 - 00:06:00)

Die, Jerk - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Rory is sitting in the theatre, on the phone to Lorelai, we see the same people walk behind her twice - the woman with white jeans on and the woman with beige trousers. (00:42:10)

The Road Trip to Harvard - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai returns to Stars Hollow she goes to Luke's, and as she takes a seat at the counter there's a glass domed cake platter (with what looks like pie) at the end of the counter, which promptly vanishes in the following shots. Also, the blue box of wax paper sheets moves to the opposite side of the hot cups on the counter, between shots. (00:37:55)

Emily In Wonderland - S1-E19

Emily: Well, uh, Rory, I don't think I wore the right shoes for the grand tour. Why don't we just drive?
Rory: You can borrow some of my mom's shoes.
Emily: Oh, no, I don't think so. Rory hold on a minute.
Rory: Grandma, you will be missing the true Stars Hollow experience if you don't walk. Trust me.
Emily: All right, but I won't wear anything with rhinestones or zebra stripes or anything that has batteries or that sings or make animal noises or moves on its own.

More quotes from Gilmore Girls

Trivia: In some episodes, Rory speaks Spanish (e.g when she is talking to her grandmother's maid). She speaks very poorly, typical "school-Spanish". This is just acting; Spanish is actually Alexis Bledel's first language. Her mother is from Mexico and her father is from Argentina.

More trivia for Gilmore Girls

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.
