Starring: Alexis Bledel, Edward Herrmann, Keiko Agena, Lauren Graham
New this month Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai enters Richard's study with the soup and he is lying on the couch, if you look above his head as he starts to cry and says "mock turtle soup", you can see the shadow of the camera guy. Keep watching and you'll see the shadow of the camera as it is moved.
Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers - S1-E16
Visible crew/equipment: When Rory asks Lorelai to call Emily to get her out of Friday night dinner so she can celebrate her and Dean's 3-month anniversary, a boom mic drops into the shot as Lorelai stands to get the phone. (00:07:05)
Red Light on the Wedding Night - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Lorelai, Rory and Max are having breakfast at Luke's, their coffee cups change from red to blue in one shot. Also Max's coffee cup goes back and forth from the left side of his paper to the right. (00:14:50)
Continuity mistake: Kirk introduces himself as "Mick" in the second episode. From episode 3 and throughout the series his name is "Kirk."
Visible crew/equipment: After Rory tells Lorelai that she looks happy, when it cuts to Max telling his class about Emily Dickinson's poem, the boom mic can be seen bobbing around at the top of the screen. (00:07:55)
Super Grover
Continuity mistake: When Lorelai and Luke are in Luke's Diner to choose the color for the walls, Luke turns around the 'closed'-sign on the door. In this shot the venetian blind at the door is quite messed-up; partly closed, partly opened. In the following shot, where all the people are standing outside Luke's Diner looking through the windows, the venetian blind is orderly and completely opened.
Visible crew/equipment: When Luke is waiting for Lorelai to show up and paint, a crew member, camera, and boom mic are reflected in the window next to him. (00:29:45)
jkwebsterOther mistake: When Rory is dropped off in the morning after spending the night with her grandparents, she walks from the car to the porch where Lorelai is standing, but even though it's snowing there aren't any snowflakes anywhere on Rory. (00:39:10)
Continuity mistake: When Luke knocks on the kitchen door (at the back of the house) and calls Lorelai out to talk on the back porch, Lorelai grabs the doorknob to go out that door, but in the very next shot from outside Lorelai is actually walking out of the side living room door which is at the side of the house while Luke is standing there. Two completely different doors, at different sides of the house, and the back porch is not connected to the side/front porch. (00:06:10)
Continuity mistake: In the first scene when Dean brings pizza and they are discussing about Donna Reed: In one shot Lorelai is opening the pizza box and she and Rory take a piece and start eating while they are talking. In the following shot, the piece of pizza in Lorelai's hand is gone and Rory takes a piece from the box - you can see that the pizza is complete again.
Eight O'Clock at the Oasis - S3-E5
Visible crew/equipment: When Emily gives Lorelai and Rory their drinks she mentions the cheese and walks away, then when Lorelai sits on the sofa the green tape marks can be seen on the floor, where Emily had been standing by the bar. (00:40:20)
Super GroverVisible crew/equipment: When Rory gets the photo album from her mother's bedroom and shows her grandparents, just as Emily reminds Richard about getting the baby dress in London, a piece of filming equipment can be seen at the right side of the screen. (00:27:25)
Super Grover
Richard in Stars Hollow - S2-E12
Visible crew/equipment: After Lorelai and Rory hug, a cameraman can be seen in the mirror next to them. (00:28:45)
Kill Me Now - S1-E3
Audio problem: When Lorelai and Rory are sitting at a table, with Rory looking at herself in a mirror, they talk about Rory's hair. Right after this, Rory asks, "do you want something to drink?" Her mouth doesn't move at all. (00:30:00)
Vettey
The Fundamental Things Apply - S4-E5
Continuity mistake: Lorelai is in Luke's Diner talking to Luke. Lorelai is wearing a red sweater vest over a white blouse. When Luke is behind the counter, every time the camera faces Lorelai, the left side of her blouse goes from being tucked in under the vest (as if the vest were hastily put on), to being untucked (as it should be) quite a few times.
Kill Me Now - S1-E3
Deliberate mistake: Richard and Emily speak of his mother as if she were dead, but she comes to visit several times later in the series.
Continuity mistake: After Rory is walking with Dean, it goes to a shot of Rory and Lorelai eating at Luke's Diner from outside. Rory is wearing a light blue sweater and Lorelai has a black shirt on. Then it goes inside the diner and Rory is wearing a dark bluish/grey sweater and Lorelai is wearing a purple shirt. The first exterior shot is used from the very last scene of the episode. (00:27:05)
Continuity mistake: Lorelai and Sookie take some containers out of the car and head towards Emily and Richard's door. When you see the next shot of them at the door, the containers Sookie is carrying are different from the ones she took out of the car, without her rearranging them.
Other mistake: Rory asks Emily for baby pictures of Lorelai, but Emily says Lorelai burned them all because she had such a big head when she was little. But in "Love and War and Snow" earlier in the season, Emily, Richard and Rory looked at a baby picture of Lorelai in a bunch of petticoats the night Rory stayed over with her grandparents during a snowstorm.
Continuity mistake: When Lorelai and Max are on the porch talking about whether or not Max can go in, there are a few snowflakes on Lorelai's hat which disappear and reappear while they're talking.
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.
