12 plot holes and errors you probably never noticed on 'Gilmore Girls'

At 15 years old, rule-abiding Rory collapsed nan rule erstwhile she drove alone.

On season one, section four, "The Deer Hunters," Rory (Alexis Bledel) drove herself to schoolhouse aft oversleeping connected nan greeting of a test, and connected her measurement to Chilton, a cervid runs into her car. 

But possibly much concerning is nan truth that Rory was seemingly only 15 years aged and she was driving a car by herself — she doesn't move 16 until a fewer episodes later, "Rory's Birthday Parties."

In nan authorities of Connecticut, where nan fictional municipality of Stars Hollow is located, you must beryllium 16 years aged to get your learner's licence aliases driver's license. Even if she was 16, she would still request different licensed driver successful nan car, a rule that rule-abiding Rory would beryllium apt to travel moreover if she was moving precocious for a test.

A fewer supporting actors played much than 1 characteristic connected nan show.

When viewers watch "Gilmore Girls" for nan first time, they mightiness deliberation that they're seeing double because respective supporting actors played more than 1 character passim nan series.

Actor Sherilyn Fenn played some Jimmy's girlfriend, Sasha, and April's mother, Anna. Alex Borstein played nan Dragonfly Inn's crotchety harpist, Drella, and Emily's stylist, Miss Celine.

And Sean Gunn first appeared arsenic Mick nan DSL installer connected section 2 and "Swan Guy" connected section 3 earlier he yet became nan bid regular Kirk.

The gender of Babette’s feline changed from 1 section to another.

On season one, section three, "Kill Me Now," Babette (Sally Struthers) referred to her beloved, "260-year-old cat" Cinnamon arsenic a "him." But 2 episodes later, "Cinnamon's Wake," Babette uses nan pronoun "she" to picture nan now-dead cat.

The insignificant correction almost seems successful characteristic for Babette, who is 1 of nan much absent-minded neighbors successful Lorelai and Rory's mini municipality of Stars Hollow.

Mr. Kim is an enigma.

Lane Kim (Keiko Agena), Rory's champion friend, makes references to her parents (plural) passim nan full original series, but viewers only ever meet her mother, Mrs. Kim (Emily Kuroda).

The characteristic reminded a complete enigma until nan "Spring" episode of nan revival aired successful 2016. Mr. Kim abruptly appeared connected surface for a fewer short moments during nan Stars Hollow International Spring Food Festival.

The cameo was astir apt added arsenic an wrong joke for die-hard "Gilmore Girls" fans, but perfectly zero questions astir nan characteristic were answered — different than nan truth that he does, indeed, exist.

Rory seemed to springiness Dean walnut-filled cookies 1 section aft she learned he was "deathly" allergic to walnuts.

On season one, section seven, "Kiss and Tell," Lane told Rory everything she had learned astir her friend's caller crush, Dean (Jared Padalecki), from his champion friend.

One of nan things she finds retired is that Dean "is deathly allergic to walnuts." 

On nan adjacent episode of nan show, "Love and War and Snow," Rory asks Sookie for a batch of her rocky-road cookies, a dainty that is traditionally made pinch an assortment of nuts, including walnuts.

Rory later gives Dean these cookies and he seemed to beryllium very enthusiastic astir nan truth that they were rocky roadworthy — a guidance that seems confusing if he's really allergic to nan nuts.

Due to nan truth that Dean doesn't extremity up successful nan emergency room, it's safe to presume 1 of nan pursuing things: nan "Gilmore Girls" writers forgot astir their statement concerning his allergies, nan cookies were made pursuing an untraditional, walnut-free recipe, aliases Dean ne'er really ate nan cookies Rory gave him. 

Rory's grandmother seemingly returned from nan dead.

On season one, section three, Loreli's (Lauren Graham) mother, Emily Gilmore (Kelly Bishop), pointed retired that her meal plates utilized to beryllium to Lorelei Gilmore nan First, Richard's mother.

During that aforesaid episode, Richard besides said: "Lorelai nan First was my mother. She was an highly accomplished equestrian, a distinguished patron of nan arts, and she was besides world-famous for her masquerade balls. She was rather a woman, my mother."

Throughout his monologue, he refers to her successful nan past tense arsenic though she were dead.

But 15 episodes later connected "The Third Lorelai," Rory's grandmother is alive, well, and terrorizing Emily. 

Lorelei nan First, played by Marion Ross, made respective much appearances earlier her characteristic dies (seemingly for a 2nd time) connected season four, section 16, "The Reigning Lorelai."

There's a spot of disorder surrounding erstwhile Jess's dada left.

Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia) is first introduced connected nan first section of play two, "Sadie, Sadie." Luke (Scott Patterson), Jess' uncle, told Lorelei that nan teenager's dada walked retired connected him and his mom 2 years prior, so, from this information, it seems for illustration his dada near erstwhile Jess was astir 14 aliases 15.

However, on play three, section 20, "Say Goodnight, Gracie," Luke confronts Jess' dad, Jimmy, and says, "The past clip I saw you is correct aft Liz gave birth. You were gonna spell retired and bargain immoderate diapers and meet america backmost astatine nan apartment. Remember that? You went out, but you ne'er came back."

This seemed to contradict Luke's earlier statement, implying that Jess's dada really near erstwhile his boy was a baby, not a teen.

When Rory tries to person Lorelei to get retired of a Friday dinner, a roar microphone appears retired of nowhere.

Friday dinners pinch Emily and Richard are often a non-negotiable outing for Rory and Lorelei. 

On season one, section 16, Rory attempts to get retired of meal to observe her day pinch Dean, who has a large nighttime planned out. Lorelai scoffs, knowing it will beryllium reliable to get retired of meal pinch her parents. 

As Lorelai goes to get nan phone, a roar microphone drops for a speedy moment. 

On 1 episode, Lorelai and Rory's java cups magically alteration color.

On nan third section of play two, "Red Light connected nan Wedding Night," Lorelai and Rory are holding java cups that look to spell from reddish to bluish to reddish again successful a matter of seconds while eating astatine Luke's.

Lorelei and Rory's manner doesn't look imaginable considering their evident financial situation.

Despite Lorelai's accordant affirmations that she and Rory are reasonably broke, their manner seems to contradict that.

The brace rarely, if ever, re-wear clothing connected nan show. They besides bid takeout from pizza joints and Chinese restaurants connected almost each episode, which adds up.

Additionally, real-estate listing tract Trulia estimated that Lorelei and Rory's Connecticut location was astir apt worthy astir $445,000. Plus, she renovated and fixed nan location respective times passim nan series. 

Although her parents, Emily and Richard Gilmore, are wealthy, Lorelei is prideful astir nan truth that she doesn't person financial thief from her parents — isolated from erstwhile it comes to Rory's education. So each things considered, it's unclear really Rory and Lorelei tin spend to unrecorded nan measurement they do. 

There's a deficiency of continuity erstwhile it comes to nan vessel successful Luke's rented garage.

During play five, Luke was told he must move his father's vessel from a car shed he had been renting. That plotline reveals that nan vessel had supposedly been successful nan car shed for complete a decade. 

However, erstwhile Luke antecedently went to nan aforesaid car shed connected season four, section 12, "A Family Matter" — nary much than astir a twelvemonth earlier — location was nary vessel to beryllium seen.
