Mistakes

Season 6, Episode 11, "The Perfect Dress": When Rory is finally going back to Yale, in the scene where she and Lorelai are standing by the car debating who Paul Anka likes better, Rory gets in the car to drive away, but in the next shot of the car actually driving away, you can see what is a man's arm driving the car.

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. See more...

Across whole show

every time some one opens the door to Luke's diner the bell rings, but the door never hits it. [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.]
Edit
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. [Lane never went to the birthday party Emily threw for Rory in season one.]
Edit
During the episode titled "French Twist", which originally aired on 11/14/06, one of the characters mentions she is watching Real World Denver. Real World Denver didn't premiere on MTV until 11/22/06. [TV time and Real Life time aren't the same thing though. Unless the date is specifically stated by a character, the date a programme airs has no relation to the date the action takes place. So in Stars Hollow it is already a time when Real World Denver is showing.]

Season 6 Episode 19 ("I Get A Sidekick Out of You"): At Lane's bachelorette party, Kyon shows up double-dressed with an Avril Lavigne shirt, and Lane says, "My whole family is crazy!" But Kyon is not part of her family; she is an exchange student. [Kyon feels like family to her, she lived in the Kim house and Lane helped her adjust to their lifestyle.]

Season 6 - Episode 7 ("Twenty-One is the Loneliest Number"): Rory is talking to Logan at her birthday party about how the reverend talked to her about her virginity being a gift. She says that Logan's got that gift now, but that's not true - she lost her virginity to Dean, not to Logan. [If Rory for some reason wanted Logan to think he was her first boy she made love to even though it's not true, it isn't a mistake, it's a character choice.]

In episode 4.20, Luke pulls up and you see a gear shifter. But in episode 4.2 when Lorelai borrows his truck, it is said that it is a stick. [My grand father owned a car with a manual transmission, and the stick shift was up by the steering wheel. If his car could have one, Luke's truck certainly can too.]

P.S. I Lo... (series 1)

When Lorelai wants to go into the market Rory asks if it is Wednesday since that is the only day she knows Dean doesn't work, and Lorelai says no. The next day, when Lorelai picks up Rory, someone says something about seeing them tomorrow. Their dinners are always on Fridays, it must therefore be Thursday, and the market conversation took place on Wednesday and Lorelai was wrong. [Or lying to get her daughter to go into the store and stop making a fuss. Even if she was wrong, so what? If it's plausible that Rory didn't know what day it was, why couldn't Lorelai not know as well?]

Emily In Wonderland (series 1)

In the episode "That Damn Donna Reed" (1.14), Lorelai suggests that Richard and Emily go to Paris instead of taking their usual trip to Martha's Vineyard. Richard and Emily are strongly opposed to this because they only go to Europe every two years and only in the Fall. Emily feels so adamant that Fall is the appropriate time to visit Europe that she references Fall four times within a thirty-five second period (6:30-7:05). However, in "Emily in Wonderland" (1.19), when Emily meets Michel for the first time they share a brief exchange in French: Emily: Enchantée. D'où venez vous? Michel: Paris. Emily: J'adore Paris. Nous y allons chaque printemps. This translates to: Emily: Charmed [in response to meeting Michel]. Where do you come from? Michel: Paris. Emily: I adore Paris. We go there every Spring. This thoroughly contradicts going to Europe every two years and only in the Fall. [While she does contradict what she says in the two episodes, it's not contradictory to her character. Emily Gilmore is all about pretenses and appearances. It would be entirely in her character for her to tell a little white lie in order to ingratiate herself.]

Christopher Returns (series 1)

In this episode, Jackson's surname is "Melville". In season 6, in "Always A Godmother, Never A God" his surname is "Belleville". [Then the mistake is in the later episode, not this one that establishes the fact.]

Rory's Dance (series 1)

Miss Patty wakes up Dean and Rory at the dance studio and tells them it's 5:30 AM. When Rory runs home through the snowy streets, it's quite light out. But at no time during winter in the northeast is it light at 5:30 AM. In reality, she'd be running home in complete darkness. [No, she wouldn't. The city (or town if you will) lights reflect off both the clouds in the sky and the snow on the ground, filling the entire area with ambient light. This happened where I live two nights ago. 3:00 AM and it looked like ten minutes before sunset.]

Rory's Birthday Parties (series 1)

Just when Rory is cutting the cake at her second birthday party, her grandparents arrive. Sookie is the one to bring in the cake, we don't see her leave the room, and if she did she would meet Richard and Emily on the way. But when Lorelei enters the kitchen a little later, Sookie is there and is surprised to hear that they have come, even she was seemingly in the room when they entered. [It's perfectly possible Sookie didn't see them because you don't have to go through the hall to go to the kitchen, you can go that way but there's another way too.]
Edit
In 1.06 - Rory's Birthday Parties Paris says "Ten generations of Gellers have gone to Harvard" in 3.16 - The Big One Paris says "Five generations of Gellers have gotten into Harvard" [Firstly, the mistake would be in the episode that contradicts what's established in this (the earlier) episode. Secondly, Paris is prone to hyperbole, particularly towards her perceived nemesis.]

Cinnamon's Wake (series 1)

In Episode 5 of Season 1 entitled, "Cinnamon's Wake", Kirk did not know who Miss Patty was. He said "I wasn't aware that you were THE Miss Patty." Later in the series, in Episode 5 of Season 6, at Miss Patty's Grand Recital, Miss Patty introduces Kirk's performance and says that he was "a talented pupil of mine". His performance was titled, "20 Years Ago Today", therefore Kirk was a student and should have known who Miss Patty was all along. [That's exactly the point of the scene. Kirk knew that her name was "Miss Patty" but he didn't know she was THE "Miss Patty" about whom everyone was speaking.]
Edit

Pilot (series 1)

Kirk introduces himself as "Mick" in the first episode. From episode 3 and throughout the series his name is "Kirk". [Mick and Kirk are different characters. They just happen to be played by the same actor.]

All of series 1 (series 1)

Rory's age throughout season 1 is slightly strange. In "Pilot", Lorelai tells the guys at Luke's that Rory is 16 and five episode later ("Rory's Birthday Parties"), Rory celebrates her birthday. This would therefore make her now 17. However, in the episode "Christopher Returns" Rory tells Straub that she is 16 years old, which would either make Rory 15 in "Pilot" or not turn a year older in "Rory's Birthday Parties" [Now, I'm not sure if this is a correction, but maybe more of a theory as to why this is? I know that when it is like a week before my birthday, I go ahead and tell strangers, if they ask, that I am already however old I am turning. So then I don't one day say, "Oh yeah I'm 15" when the next week I have to tell them "I am 16 now". And maybe Loralai just wanted to give a rounded answer, or make the point to the man more dramatic.]
Edit

There's the Rub (series 2)

When Rory orders Indian food, they say it is going to take 40 minutes. After that Paris arrives, Rory agrees to help her, and she changes her clothes. Just before Jess shows up, Rory says to Paris that her hour is up. The Indian food still hasn't come, and we only ever see them eat the food Jess brought. Deliveries can be late, but after over 20 additional minutes you would think someone would comment on it. [Someone could have delivered the Indian food while Rory was busy helping Paris, so she just put it away (in the fridge), and then later decided to eat what Jess had brought instead. These girls are known for storing fast-food for weeks and then throw it away.]
Edit

Those Are Strings, Pinocchio (series 3)

In the episode in which Rory graduates from Chilton, she was talking to Dean, early in the episode. He said he has a nephew who was going to be the ring bearer in his wedding. But, Dean only has one sister and at the time, she was only about 10 years old. Maybe 12, but not old enough to have a three year old son. And, never, in any other episode, does Dean have or mention another sibling. How could he possibly have a nephew? [Actually, early in the show's run, Dean uses the word "sisters" when giving Rory the details about his family. We only ever see one sister, but that would presumably be because the other is older and no longer lives with her parents.]

Face-Off (series 3)

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). However, for a rich family, I hardly doubt they're using P1 processors, so I somehow doubt they'd notice a tiny drop in Mhz. [Actually, Rory and Lorelai are not the ones who are rich, Emily and Richard are. In fact, Lorelai had to borrow money from Richard and Emily on a few occasions, including Rory's education at Chilton. Lorelai makes just enough money for her and Rory to get by. If you watch the first episode, "Pilot", their old, lumpy couch is proof that they have no money and becomes a running joke throughout the show's episodes. So, maybe they didn't have the best computer in the world because they couldn't afford it? ]
Edit

Dear Emily and Richard (series 3)

In this episode, Sherry is giving birth to Georgia and Rory is the only one there with her at the beginning of her pre-delivery status. Sherry is freaking out about work and needs to reschedule all her appointments, so she and Rory do it using a mobile phone. Anyone whose ever been to a hospital or even watched an episode of E.R. would know that mobile phones are not allowed to be used in hospitals. The nurse in the scene even talks to Sherry while Rory is talking on Sherry's mobile phone for her, so it's not as if the staff didn't know about it. [Cell phones are allowed in maternity wards.]
Edit

That'll Do, Pig (series 3)

When Emily is at Lorelai's home and Lorelai arrives in the car, the sun is not shining. When she gets inside the house moments later, the sun is shining. [There could have been clouds covering the sun and when Lorelai got in the house the clouds could have left.]
