Presenting Lorelai Gilmore - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai calls Chris to tell him about Rory's debut, she writes his new number on a gum wrapper. The shot changes to Rory. When it cuts to Lorelai again, she is reading the number from a notebook.

Red Light on the Wedding Night - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Rory and Lorelai are testing cakes for the wedding at Fran's bakery, Rory is seen taking pieces out of the raspberry cake several times. However when the angle changes you can see that the cake is whole as if none of it had been eaten. (00:00:45)

The Road Trip to Harvard - S2-E4

Back in the Saddle Again - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai sits down with Dean to discuss how "clingy" he is with Rory, both Lorelai and Dean's hand positions change between shots, specifically whether their fingers are laced, resting normally on the table or raised in the air.

Presenting Lorelai Gilmore - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: During the presenter's introductions at the start of the ball, there's a shot of Lorelai from behind while she's seated alone at the table and we see the glistening necklace around her neck, but in the following shot facing Lorelai as she turns her head toward her parents the necklace has vanished, then she gets up and as Lorelai walks toward Emily and Richard the necklace has reappeared. (00:31:25)

Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: During dinner, when Jess takes the beer from the fridge he walks out the kitchen's back door which has a lattice wall on the porch, and when Lorelai opens the same door, in the next exterior shot she's walking out the side living room door, onto the porch. (00:26:20)

Super Grover

Sadie, Sadie - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: At the diner, when Lorelai stands at the counter telling Luke about Max's proposal, in the shots facing Lorelai we see the red ketchup bottle on the table behind her is either standing upright or lying on its side, changing a few times. (00:07:05)

Red Light on the Wedding Night - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai, Max, and Rory are in the diner, just as Luke tells them that he's almost out of the blueberry pancakes and he can't make more, the regular menu which is set upright on the table suddenly becomes the "lunch" menu, and then it's back to the regular menu. This occurs well before Luke even brings Max the lunch menu because Max is taking too long to decide. (00:13:35)

The Bracebridge Dinner - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Dean and Clara first arrive at the Inn and are shown talking to Rory, Luke and Jess arrive in the background and Luke removes his jacket. In the next shot his jacket is back on and he removes it again.

Lorelai's Graduation Day - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: When Emily, Lorelai and Richard are going to take the picture, Richard lifts his arm as if he is going to put it around Lorelai's shoulder. The angle changes and his hand is no longer raised. He then raises it again before finally lowering it.

Lorelai's Graduation Day - S2-E21

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)

The Road Trip to Harvard - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Lorelai returns to Stars Hollow she goes to Luke's, and as she takes a seat at the counter there's a glass domed cake platter (with what looks like pie) at the end of the counter, which promptly vanishes in the following shots. Also, the blue box of wax paper sheets moves to the opposite side of the hot cups on the counter, between shots. (00:37:55)

Super Grover

Run Away, Little Boy - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Lorelei's casual date brings his parents into Luke's and even though the windows are covered and you can't see outside, the cash register is at the wrong end of the counter.

Lorelai Out of Water - S3-E12

Visible crew/equipment: At the start of the episode Rory and Lorelai are about to open the garage door. You can see a crew member in the reflection of the glass moving his arms around the camera - you can also slightly see his head for a split second. (00:39:00)

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.

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.
