And then it was never mentioned again...

[@pianoprincesse6754]

It wasn't exactly characteristic. She probably quit. Does Lane really seem like the type of person who would continue cheerleading once she and Rory were back ok n speaking terms.

Lol!

[@lindsayspates8907]

@Josiah Bright I think she was more shocked cuz they used to make fun of cheerleaders together then all of a sudden she is one. I dont have a good history with cheerleaders myself. The ones at my highschool were stereotype slutty, mean, full of themselves type of girls.

Omg you're right

[@AlinaGarib]

Marjorie Rodrigues 25 actually

[@timoreilly6169]

only $250,000. That's a lot, but not an insane amount when you consider the lifestyle she leads. A pad in Brooklyn, traveling a lot, her expensive clothes, etc. And Richard only died 4 months before the revival started. I don't think she was necessarily broke in the revival, but she had no apartment after giving hers up and then didn't know what she wanted to do so she didn't get another place after everything blew up in her face. It was more about her being directionless and lost, I feel, than legitimately penniless.

[@RJ-nm6qt]

I remember a big one that bothered me the whole first season= in an early episode Rory says Chilton requires all students to be on a sports team but that storyline is dropped immediately after she plays golf once with her grandpa as practice.

[@trinitytribble4533]

everyone is saying how perfect Dave was, but what about Henry from season 2? Lane and Henry met at Madeline's Chilton party and they had a secret relationship and according to Lane, he was perfect and didn't want her mom to find out because once Henry was approved by her parents, Lane wouldn't be interested any more

[@catherinengo5969]

[@Hushpuppy297]

I'm most annoyed about that time when Rory was new to college and Lorelei came and ordered take out from a bunch of different places for like the entire dorm. And this was while she was trying to open the Inn and talking about struggling with money.. and then she just casually orders hundreds of dollars worth of food...

[@genevievebroun291]

It never explicitly states it's her paying for all of it. She could have asked everyone to chip in $10 or whatever to cover it. Plenty of my friends will do that at parties if they want to order some pizzas or something. Just generally though, I figure they're not that poor, they've just been poor and know how to scrimp and save when needed. They just seem poor because they're in constant juxtaposition with Emily and Richard's life where they have servants and cooks and what have you.

[@Hushpuppy297]

I guess that's possible but they originally just ordered for the four of them and so even if they split it between the the four of them Lorelei would still bascially be paying half and then after it got there they invited the rest of the dorm girls.

[@burntwaffles9950]

Another situation that bothers me: At April's birthday party (season 6) she lead the girls to a cosmetic store and let them grab everything they can... granted she's doing much better financially as this was later in the show and those are probably inexpensive pharmacy crap, but wth? Luke should've freaked.

[@Hushpuppy297]

Kinda funny how she makes such a big deal out of it when her mother just spends a bunch not caring about the cost but then does the same thing (with cheaper things but still)

[@sharonwang1253]

There was an episode where Rory was home (maybe from Yale) and noticed the Cable wasn't working and that Lorelei was turning lights off and there was a time where Lorelei was cutting coupons. I certainly had the impression that they were on a budget, and I did notice that it didn't line up with all the eating out, etc.

[@bobolob]

Can we talk about how Jackson was elected town selectman, and then a few episodes later Taylor was it again? That one bugs me. They could have made a good subplot explaining that.

[@bris8133]

One more oversight to add, the “bathroom” that is between the living room and kitchen in which Rory goes into when Dean is over and where suki goes to wash her eye; in the episode where Rory breaks up with Dean and ask her mom to put the box away Lorelai opens the door and it’s actually a closet ... dum dum dummmmmm

[@druwzeigrwileu4482]

Unless it is a closet where they threw up. Cuz like. Fucking bulimics. So sookie may have just assumed it was a bathroom and been wrong. And we don't actually see Rory going into that bathroom/closet to wash her face. We just know she goes to the bathroom to wash her face. Also, Lorelai is clearly a hoarder so I'm sure most of the upstairs is just an abundance of crap stuffed everywhere which is why no one goes up there other than her.

Now let's talk about some real plotholes. There are two that bother me a lot.1st one when Dean said he'll fight for Rory till the end and two episodes later he's with another girl. 2nd one is with Emily and Luke. Emily was guessing that Luke liked Lorelai and was even very supportive, especially after Luke came to help when Richard was in a Hospital. But in later seasons Emily is against relationship.

I’m not sure if the Luke thing was a plot whole but I remember that it bugged me a lot because I was very excited when Emily liked Luke in the hospital and I was sad when they didn’t approve their relationship later on

Daniela Salazar it's one thing to say "you like my daughter" (not giving any "permission" to date) than to think that's who Lorelei will spend the rest of her life with. She's a snob so of course she's going to act that way.

[@DasKarussel]

About Emily and Luke: she also adds, after lorelai admits she might have a thing for Luke "now let's talked about what possibly you could be thinking". She wasn't supportive about Luke, she just wanted to show lorelai that she is her mother, that she is able to read into her even when she doesn't tell her stuff, and moreover, she wanted to get close to her. At least, that's how I interpreted this

In the episode, when Richard's mother dies, there is on-going theme of in-breeding - we learn that Trix actually married her cousin (or second cousin, not sure). Lorelei and Rory discuss , what horrific consequences that might have - so using the same actress in the funeral scene as Trixe's blood relative is for me only a clever joke to that theme.

[@jessicamcghee3878]

Yeah, that's the one plot hole this vid points out that is probably the most truly plot-holey in the exact way they stated. You really don't generally speak of your parents' nature and existence in past tense unless they've died, or at least you've for some reason severed ties with them. However, that's not the only weirdness. Even if Trix has lived abroad for years, doesn't it seem pretty weird that if she has close enough connections to the U.S. to have a rock band renting out her stateside house, she has never met Rory before? As in, ever? As in, despite all the gifts she gives that Emily has to drag out whenever she visits, she never spent ANY of the holidays with them over the last 16 years?!! Nor has her name came up in all of the holidays over the last 16 years, because apparently Rory has never heard of her even enough to know that her mother was named after her....... because... that... makes... sense... in some world.

And, um... maybe this is a little bit too much of "thinking into it" ...you know... since it's a ....tv show... but hey, whatever, if you want to believe that using the same actress in the different role in the wake scene of her original role is more "loophole" than clever joke.... then be my guest :D

[@silvanarogel7151]

OMG YES I thought I was the only one that noticed it

[@FrozenUSA]

I also was bothered by the fact that when the Independence Inn had the horrible fire, Mia wasn’t immediately call to come back from California where she lived at the time and make the big decisions on what to do. When we first see her and Loreali finally works up the courage to say she and Sookie want to move forward with opening their own in, Mia indicates Loreali’s leaving would be a prime opportunity to sell the Independence Inn to someone else. She also asks Loreali to give her an exact date of leaving (not right away but in the future) so she can get the sale going. In the weeks following the fire you see inspectors coming to let Loreali know based on their observations what should happen in the short term with the inn. Then later in the same episode the inspector says he spoke with “the owners” and they are leaning towards selling the inn and cutting their losses. Mia isn’t mentioned once in this conversation. Then in season 7 Mia is getting married and invited Rory and Loreali to the wedding. Not only is Mia no longer living in California but in one of the Carolinas, she’s played by a different somewhat younger actress. To top it all off no mention is given of the Independence Inn burning down or the fact that this incident provides Loreali and Sookie the right time to open their own inn. Mia was like a second mother to Loreali and the fact that she interacts with Rory and Loreali almost like a dear old friend of Emily and Richard’s if they had been slightly different people, seems very out of place. Rory was almost not going to go to Mia’s wedding because of their things going on in her life at that time. I could never not go to an important event or even think of not going to an important event of someone who was more of a grandmother to me than my own grandmother for almost the first 16 years of my life.

Jess wasn't the best guy, he gets into trouble quite often which Dean was also worried about. He never forced her to not go, when you are in a relationship is safe to make requests from your partner to make things work accordingly. About the Indian food thing with the laundry, Dean and Rory weren't spending that much time together because they were busy with their own things, I would understand why he would be disappointed for not getting to spend time together during her free day. He respected her wishes for the most part and didn't really come to her house or call her for the entire day until night time to just check up on her or say good night, which I don't really see a problem either.

Rory works so hard to get the job at the paper she interned at and then after she gets it, we literally never hear about it again

[@Golden_Rabbit]

MikkiJoeRingtail yeess. The one where she keeps going to the office every day asking for a job

[@matyldabuczek6324]

I think that maybe at this point of Rory's life when she didnt know what she wanted to do with her life, this particular job was not so important. The important thing was that she made effort, decided to back to yale and be journalist. She was back on track and felt confident again. Anyway, maybe she did not get that job and was fine wiith it. But yeah, they should mentioned anything...

[@mariadegiglio7115]

Can’t think of the specific details but one episode Rory and Lane were out doing something and Lorelai thought Mrs. Kim knew all about it and when she found out that they lied to Mrs. Kim she was like “oh no I can’t lie to another parent” and told Mrs. Kim the truth. Then the literal next episode Lorelai made up a lie to Mrs. Kim about the concert that Rory and Lane were gonna go to

[@char4980]

lmaoooo

[@Emily-ub8gh]

I think its bc in the first one Mrs Kim was really worried and thought that Lane was kidnapped or something, and in the second one Lorelai knew they were "safe" and Mrs. Kim knew they were together. Maybe Lorelai was worried that Mrs Kim was worried of Lanes safe but not so much about lying to her.

When Rory gets arrested, Lorelei is freaking out about getting the ink off her finger tips. While she’s asking Luke if soap will get it off he continues saying I don’t know as if he’s never been arrested. BUT he got arrested in season 4 (?) for kicking a car. AND he had the ink on his thumb for at least a day because it would not come off with soap.

[@theblackdahlia88]

I don't know about everyone else, but Rory's delayed reaction on seeing Christopher has always bothered me. She waits for Lorelei to say "Christopher" before running to him, which I find super annoying.

[@I230]

It would have made more sense to explain that Christopher shows up so infrequently that Rory isn't sure what he looks like - especially since a "current" -(season 1) photo of him is not detectable in the house.

[@rachelparish974]

Me too! It seems so unrealistic.

[@theblackdahlia88]

@I230 Even so, It seems impossible that Rory wouldn't recognise him.

[@I230]

True, though her delayed reaction to him (as "The_Hower" pointed out) has been immortalized in S1EP15. The most reasonable explanation for the delay is an oversight in editing for the reverse (reaction) shot. Fans come up with our own reasons, its what we do, whether other people agree or not.

[@jssanch24]

What about the fact that in the beginning of the series it’s like she barely knows her grandparents. Like they’ve never met but later you hear they see each other every holiday.

[@Ceetje666]

Kirk wasn't supposed to be a recurring character initially, let alone become a series regular. After that first ep, the writers/creators decided he was funny enough and received so well by the audience they expanded his role. But yeah, plotholes stemming from the pilot should be mostly ignored.

[@cr123-cn]

The photograph of Christopher wasnt in the pilot it was in episode 8

[@jen2809]

well I heard that espiaccially for something like photos like that one with lor and chris they buy those photos. Like the same thing happend in PLL where there was an episode where they meet the friends of Sarah Harvey and looked at Sarah's Profile. Later on they actually gave the role to someone

[@jacquelinemilom4164]

Exactly! and I also thought the picture was supposed to be of them at sixteen. People get different actors to play younger versions of people all the time.

[@whiteshell1]

Kirk wasn't even in the pilot. He didn't appear until episode 2 when he was the internet guy. Later he was Kirk who worked at the grocery store. Also he was the swan guy at the inn. Later is when he became a main character and became all his life in town Kirk.

[@CeckoJeBorec]

How about when Luke goes out with Lorelai and there are some old folks, who are really close to Luke... They were never in the show before and after...

[@neverumindwho]

Yeah, I always thought it was inconsistent that Luke told Lorelai that when he set about converting his father's old hardware store into a diner that he did it all by himself with no help; and yet on their first date he says that old guy/couple (whose name I can't remember) showed him all the ropes & taught him everything he knew - completely contradicting himself for no good reason.

Digger's lawsuite isn't a plothole, we just don't see the rest of the lawsuite on screen. Sherilyn Fenn's dubbel role isn't a plothole, many actors play more than one role in this show - Drella/Miss Celine, Trix/Marylin, the guy who puts up the runway for the of the Booster Club fashion show/Hugo, Mick/Kirk, Sasha/Anna, the student who asks questions when Lorelai is a guest speaker at Stars Hallow High/Juliet, the debutante who says that Rory is getting married to Dean/a bridesmaid at Honor's wedding, Zach (from Lorelai's gradutation)/the laywer on the phone to Richard and Emily, Kirk's girlfriend in his short film/one of the town troubadours.

I've always noticed it tbh. they're portrayed as quite a 'poor' family but constantly eat out, get takeaways and go shopping. plus Lorelai casually re does her whole house in season 6 but idk if Luke paid for that

Honestly, I don't think they were really broke, I mean Lorelai was running an In and then she opened one. So they had money to eat and buy stuff but pay for a good highschool and Yale is another thing. It's more expensive.

[@maisymitchell582]

[@jaimeheather]

Lorelai and Rory's financial situation and lifestyle aren't really that much of a plot hole. Many families, mine included, put aside money regularly so that they can buy more extravagant things, such as having a "shopping budget". Also, let's be honest, with Stars Hollow being the small town that it is, the prices of a lot of things wouldn't necessarily be as high as places in more major cities.

[@violetscrypt]

That's a good theory but also what if somehow Lorelai had access to her college fund, because she never went to college, I don't know how she had access to it, but if that theory doesn't add up maybe Mia, the woman who used to run the inn, financially supported her.

[@thisisme7888]

My main thing is that the town's size changes throughout it. In one of the first episodes, they say there's about 10000 people, but then they all fit into the tiny Ms. Patty's for town meetings, and we know all of them. There's only a lot of people or a lot of space when they WANT there to be, like when she passes out 1000 yellow daisies, or when they have the blue or pink ribbons. Also, the actual main plot hole that makes the show interesting is that the entire little universe revolves around these two girls. Like, when Luke and Lorelei break up and they have the ribbons, there is no way they do that for everyone. And does everyone in town desperately want to attend every kid's college graduation? It's just all about the two of them.

[@Nono-zz8xz]

I think bc they own a dinner and an inn so they’re more known

[@allrudegirl]

You missed the one that's always bothered me. When Rory finds that photo album, they talk about Emily's sister who lives in Paris. She's never ever mentioned again.

Rory goes on a date with a boy Emily set her up with at Yale, and he asks if she's ever been to Europe. She reflexively says "no" because she's so nervous, and then corrects herself, as she and Lorelai just got back from their backpacking trip. Next, he asks if she has any siblings. She again says "no." She was just in the hospital the previous season when Georgia (Gigi) was born, but the show seems to forget about her father's story arc for a while, though he obviously comes back later. In my head cannon, she forgets again because she's nervous, but the show doesn't seem to be aware of that mistake. Also, Rory frequently reminds Lorelai that "you didn't go to college," even after we see Lorelai graduate with her business degree before she goes on to open her own inn.
