Gilmore Girls mistake picture

Face-Off - S3-E15

Visible crew/equipment: After dinner with Emily, when it cuts to Lorelai and Rory rushing into their house, an equipment pole 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. (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)

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.

Keg! Max! - S3-E19

Visible crew/equipment: When Jess shows up at Principal Merton's office because he couldn't get prom tickets, as Jess shuts the office door the hand of a crew member is visible between the door and frame, slowing the moving door. (00:14:30)

Here Comes the Son - S3-E21

Revealing mistake: While Rory and Lorelai are in the kitchen, in a few closeups of Rory we see the refrigerator and counter area with the microwave, etc. behind Rory, but when Lorelai is at the back door about to join Luke, part of the set beside the refrigerator is gone. (00:04:15)

Here Comes the Son - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When Luke knocks on the kitchen door (at the back of the house) and calls Lorelai out to talk on the back porch, Lorelai grabs the doorknob to go out that door, but in the very next shot from outside Lorelai is actually walking out of the side living room door which is at the side of the house while Luke is standing there. Two completely different doors, at different sides of the house, and the back porch is not connected to the side/front porch. (00:06:10)

Those Are Strings, Pinocchio - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: During the graduation Lorelai borrows Richard's pen and writes "we got the inn" on the graduation program, and when she holds the program up to show Rory note the position of the blue logo printed on the bottom page. First the logo is near the center crease, but then it's at the outer edge of the page. (00:35:20)

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.

Trivia: Although, Rory loves coffee in the show, she hates it in real life. So, whenever she gets coffee from Luke, a stand, etc, Coke is the actual beverage in the glass.
