Those Are Strings, Pinocchio - S3-E22

Stupidity: Richard, an insurance man drove Rory's Prius graduation gift to Chilton. The car wasn't insured, and presumably wasn't registered. An insurance man who is anal about following procedure drove an unregistered and uninsured vehicle? Richard wouldn't do it. Plus, Richard should have mentioned transferring the title to Rory. Can't insure it until it's in her name.

Twenty-One Is the Loneliest Number - S6-E7

Other mistake: Though I love the 21st birthday at the casino plan, it's flawed. Rory will not be able to play blackjack until she is 21. She can't be playing when she turns 21. Casinos, to the best of my knowledge, won't let you on the gaming floor unless you are 21. She has to turn 21 first.

Always a Godmother, Never a God - S6-E4

Stupidity: Rory arrives in Star's Hollow for the baptism. She parks presumably near the church. When she gets out of the car, she does not have a purse or car keys in hand. She apparently left the car unlocked and left the keys in it. It's just plain dumb.

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.

Santa's Secret Stuff - S7-E11

Stupidity: Lorelai finishes her character reference letter for Luke. She takes it out of the typewriter and immediately folds it. She did not sign it. I wonder why a judge accepted a reference letter that wasn't signed.

Twenty-One Is the Loneliest Number - S6-E7

Other mistake: After Emily goes to the pool house on the pretence of looking for a blouse, she asks Logan about plans for Rory's birthday. Later, Emily and Richard talk. Emily suspects that Rory is ready to have relations with Logan. She says that she caught them getting cozy on the couch. Emily didn't catch them doing anything. There was no way for Emily to see inside. Both Logan and Rory got off the sofa to answer the door. Emily didn't see anything. And, Logan told Emily that he had no plans for where his birthday. He knows that Emily is planning a party, yet he offered to take Rory away for her birthday. Emily would've been devastated.

Say Something - S5-E14

Other mistake: Lorelai is in bed post breakup. Rory returns from running errands for her. She comes upstairs with Frank who is carrying the television. Frank puts down the television and leaves. When Rory leaves, Lorelei turns on the TV. No one plugged it in or hooked up the cable, assuming that cable is installed in her bedroom (which is extremely doubtful). Lorelai would not have been able to flip through channels as she did.

Norman Mailer, I'm Pregnant! - S5-E6

Stupidity: Luke arrives at Lorelai's house. He comments that she left her car light on. Lorelai then tells him that she left it on because the porch light is out. He says that the battery is going to die. She tells him that she has it timed out perfectly. She then says that there will be 2 hours to spare and that the car has all day to charge. Cars don't charge unless they are running. Is she really going to run it all day? Why didn't Luke point out the error in her logic? Doing so is staying true to the character. The oversight is glaring.

The UnGraduate - S6-E3

Character mistake: While Rory is on the phone discussing a DAR application, Emily enters. Rory asks the caller to hold, but she doesn't hit a button to put the call on hold. She put down the receiver disconnecting the call. Then she forgets that she has someone on hold.

Wedding Bell Blues - S5-E13

Trivia: During the quickly improvised bachelorette party for Emily, Lorelei and Rory talk about the Sheldrakes, the people who were bumped so Emily and Richard could get the Rose Room. The Sheldrakes are a nod to Kelly Bishop's role in the movie Dirty Dancing. The hotel where Johnny Castle and partner performed was called the Sheldrake.

Women of Questionable Morals - S5-E11

Other mistake: When Rory goes to see her father after Strobe dies, she brings a paper bag with cookies. Christopher comments "and milk", even though the bag was creased. He couldn't see into the bag because the bag is closed.

Richard in Stars Hollow - S2-E12

Other mistake: Paris was looking to find the seedy side of Stars Hollow. Inside of Luke's she hid behind a menu commenting that she wanted to blend in. She then asked Luke if he gets a lot of truckers. We have all seen the exterior of Luke's and the town square. Paris has walked through it. Where, would a big rig possibly fit or park? Paris is extremely intelligent. She would not have asked the question. Doing so was totally out of character.

Wedding Bell Blues - S5-E13

Other mistake: Lorelei, Rory, and Luke are about to leave for Emily and Richard's wedding. Babette is on the sofa half passed out from the bachelorette party. When she hears Lorelei speak her name her head pops up to say goodbye, and she also comments that Luke looks nice. Luke is wearing a long overcoat. She could not possibly see how he looks, plus she was viewing him from behind.

We've Got Magic to Do - S6-E5

Emily: Well, let me tell you this, Shira. We are just as good as you are. You don't think Rory is good enough for your son - as if we don't know Logan's reputation. We do. But he is welcome in our home anytime, and you should extend the same courtesy to Rory. Now let's talk about your money. You were a two-bit gold digger, fresh off the bus from Hicksville, when you met Mitchum at whatever bar you happened to stumble into. And what made Mitchum decide to choose you to marry amongst the pack of women he was bedding at the time, I'll never know. But hats off to you for bagging him. He's still a playboy, you know? Well, of course you know. That would explain why your weight goes up and down 30 pounds every other month. But that's your cross to bear. But these are ugly realities. No one needs to talk about them. Those kids are staying together for as long as they like. You won't stop them. Now, enjoy the event.

That's What You Get, Folks, for Makin' Whoopee - S7-E2

Rory: Sounds like you're over thinking this. Maybe if you just put pen to paper.
Lorelai: I tried that, I thought, "I'll just sit down and write whatever comes - no judgment, no inner critic." Boy was that a bad idea.
Rory: Really? Why?
Lorelai: Because my brain is a wild jungle full of scary gibberish. "I'm writing a letter, I can't write a letter, why can't I write a letter? I'm wearing a green dress, I wish I was wearing my blue dress, my blue dress is at the cleaners. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue, 'Casablanca' is such a good movie. Casablanca, the White House, Bush. Why don't I drive a hybrid car? I should really drive a hybrid car. I should really take my bicycle to work. Bicycle, unicycle, unitard. Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants!"
Rory: Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants?

Ted Koppel's Big Night Out - S4-E9

Factual error: Lorelei and Jason go to dinner after the Yale vs Harvard game. When the dinner is a bust, they go to the supermarket. Wine bottles can be seen as they enter the supermarket. Hard liquor and wine are not sold in supermarkets in Connecticut. Up until a few years ago, alcohol could not be purchased on Sunday or after 9 PM.
