Show generally

Corrected entry: 703: When Christopher professes his love to Lorelai in her kitchen, he calls her Lauren [her real name]. (00:37:40)

Correction: No, he calls her "Lore". And he actually does that a few times throughout the series.

Show generally

Corrected entry: The title of the show is "Gilmore girls." Notice that the letter G in girls is not capitalized. Rory's manuscript in the revival has the G in girls capitalized. Almost everywhere you see the name of the show the word girls is not capitalized. The references to "Gilmore girls" on this website has the G in the word girls capitalized. A theory exists that the 7 seasons of "Gilmore girls" is the first 7 chapters of Rory's book. In that case the letter G shouldn't be capitalized.

Correction: It's entirely variable. IMDb has it capitalised, Wikipedia has it capitalised. Some posters do, some don't. Netflix uses a non-capitalised banner image but the text has it capitalised. There's clearly no absolute right or wrong.

In the real world, sites follow title case stylization rules to identify the title of the show as "Gilmore Girls." But the show itself doesn't have to follow any stylization rules and identifies itself as "Gilmore girls." The mistake is saying if Rory's manuscript is meant to be the show itself, it should also be written as "Gilmore girls" since that's how the show has already presented itself, regardless of how we identify it in the real world.

I guess the first seven seasons could be Rory's book, however she does mention to Dean that all the characters would be given a different name to who they are in real life. (A Year in the Life, S1:Ep4, 1:18:05), so surely if it was the book they would have different names or maybe it's still the prototype so there aren't any different names yet.

Show generally

Corrected entry: We know Lorelai ran away from home and moved into the potting shed at Independence Inn with baby Rory but reference after reference indicates that she didn't meet Luke until at least ten years later. In a town that size she would've known hometown boy Luke.

Correction: The Inn isn't in Star's Hollow.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In season 6, "21 is the loneliest number", Lane and Rory are talking at Rory's birthday party. Lane says "This house is amazing, I've never been here before", when in fact in Season 1 Emily threw Rory a birthday party there that Lane attended.

Correction: Lane never went to the birthday party Emily threw for Rory in season one.

Correction: The bell has a clapper. The bell itself has a clapper which rings by movement. It only needs to have motion to make the clapper hit the inside of the bell and thus ring. It doesn't need to actually hit another object in order to ring.

Question: Does Lane live with both her parents? I've heard her talk about "parents" in plural but I've never seen her father, nor heard anyone talk about him. Anyone who knows?

Answer: Yes, Lane lives with both her parents. Her father does live with them, but he was only seen in the Netflix revival.
