Written in the Stars - S5-E3

We Got Us a Pippi Virgin - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: When they are starting Pippi and Luke is asking about her hair, you can see Dean's hand on Rory's shoulder on the side of the shot. Then it pans to them and then Dean is putting his arm around Rory.

The Party's Over - S5-E8

Visible crew/equipment: While Liz and TJ are arguing in Luke's bathroom, when Luke puts the lid on the plastic container with the cheesecake for Lorelai to take home, we can see the shadow of the bouncing boom mic on the cabinet over the stove. (00:36:25)

Emily Says Hello - S5-E9

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.

Wedding Bell Blues - S5-E13

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.

Rory: You sound happy.
Lorelai: I am, kid.

Lorelai: I'm not that happy.

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.
