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)

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)

Swan Song - S3-E14

Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai returns from her trip she tells Rory that she needs food, and as they walk away from the car, we can see the reflections of the camera operator, camera, and boom mic moving on the surface of the car. (00:38:30)

Swan Song - S3-E14

Visible crew/equipment: While Dave, Brian, and Zack are in the car, when Mrs. Kim is speaking to Dave the reflection of the boom pole is visible in the window behind Mrs. Kim, then after she leaves when the car starts moving, the reflection of the reflector screen is also visible in Brian's window.

The UnGraduate - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: When Loralie is having lunch with Paris, as Paris is leaving at about in Lorelai is wearing tennis shoes. As she walks into the kitchen she has heels on. (00:09:00 - 00:10:00)

Rory's Dance - S1-E9

Factual error: The morning after Dean and Rory fall asleep at Miss Patty's, when Patty wakes them up, she tells them it's five-thirty in the morning. When Rory runs out into the street, there is snow on the ground and the sun is up. In Connecticut, there is no time of year in which there would be both snow on the ground and sunlight at 5:30 a.m. (It's not streetlights either - in other episodes that take place at night in the town square, the streetlights do not light up the entire square - they are some distance apart, and their light is concentrated around the poles).

Rory's Birthday Parties - S1-E6

Visible crew/equipment: While Emily is instructing the servants before the party, when she tells one servant, "I want those six inches apart, get a ruler," there are two problems with this medium shot. First, lighting equipment is visible at the top right side of the screen over the lamp, and second, it's a flipped shot. Note the painting and lamp are reversed in the medium shot, compared to the next wideshot which is fine. (00:17:45)

Hammers And Veils - S2-E2

Other mistake: When Lorelai asks her mother which veil she should choose for her upcoming wedding to Max, Emily responds that her head is too big for a veil, and she could consider a tiara. When Lorelai responds quizzically with 'umm a tiara?' Emily says 'that's what I wore'. However, in s1e8, the photo album Rory looks through with her Grandparents features a picture of Emily and Richard that Emily calls their 'wedding photo' (in which she is pictured wearing a veil, not a tiara). (00:43:15)

Lalala

Pilot - S1-E1

Rory: You sound happy.
Lorelai: I am, kid.
Rory: Did you do something slutty?
Lorelai: I'm not that happy.

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.
