Gilmore Girls mistake picture

Lorelai Out of Water - S3-E12

Visible crew/equipment: When Luke gets frustrated with the construction noise he storms out of the diner, and at the start of the next shot we can see an actor's T-mark taped to the ground at the bottom of the screen, where Luke will be standing in a moment. (00:03:40)

Dear Emily and Richard - S3-E13

Factual error: When Lorelai arrives at the hospital, Rory says she is xeroxing a report that she needs to fax for Sherry because Sherry didn't make enough copies. No matter how many people the report needed to be faxed to, only one original copy would be needed.

Face-Off - S3-E15

Character mistake: 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).

The Big One - S3-E16

Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai and Rory are at Richard's while Emily is away visiting her friends, Richard steps out to answer a call. When Richard returns we can see a blue T-mark taped to the floor behind Rory's side of the sofa. This T-mark is visible again when Richard asks about Rory's speech, because he'd like to be there.

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)

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. (00:15:25)

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)

Those Are Strings, Pinocchio - S3-E22

Revealing mistake: Rory and Lorelai stop looking for a place to carve their initials on the Chilton steps because they hear someone coming. A man walks by and his footsteps stop so they continue, but when the screen goes back to Lorelai you can see the man hiding in the plant behind her on the right.

Emily In Wonderland - S1-E19

Emily: Well, uh, Rory, I don't think I wore the right shoes for the grand tour. Why don't we just drive?
Rory: You can borrow some of my mom's shoes.
Emily: Oh, no, I don't think so. Rory hold on a minute.
Rory: Grandma, you will be missing the true Stars Hollow experience if you don't walk. Trust me.
Emily: All right, but I won't wear anything with rhinestones or zebra stripes or anything that has batteries or that sings or make animal noises or moves on its own.
