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)

Lorelai's Graduation Day - S2-E21

Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: After Luke and "Mimi" talk at the diner Lorelai comes home, and while she and Rory sit on the couch note the open window behind them, with a clown pillow in front of it and the porch chair on the other side, but when Lorelai asks for her purse because she's hungry it cuts to the exterior shot, and nothing is blocking the view through that window. (00:41:00 - 00:43:00)

They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They? - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Luke fixes Lorelai's shoe, he squeezes glue onto the broken heel and places the glue bottle down on the seat to his left, then he holds the heel to the shoe with both hands, but in the next shot that glue bottle is suddenly back in Luke's hand while he's still holding the heel to the shoe.

I Solemnly Swear - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Sookie is reunited with Joe from the Deerhill Lodge, Lorelai pours herself a cup of coffee, then after Joe and Sookie have hugged, in the shots facing Sookie and Joe we see Lorelai's hand holding the cup, but in the shots facing Lorelai and Alex, Lorelai's hands are empty.

Swan Song - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Luke and Jess are on the lake discussing in the end, when the camera is on Luke they are in the sun and when it is on Jess they are in the shadow.

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)

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)

The Fundamental Things Apply - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: While Lorelai and Michel are at the diner Luke tells Lorelai to take Michel elsewhere, and when Luke goes behind the counter his shirt is perfectly dry in this wideshot and following closeup. but in the next wideshot, as Lorelai tries to get Luke's attention, we now see a round wet spot on Luke's back, but the problem is Lorelai has not yet tossed the lemon wedge at Luke's back that causes the wet spot on his shirt. Lorelai tosses the lemon wedge about ten shots later. (00:07:25)

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.
