Goofs

One of Rory's Yale professors, Professor Bell, played by George Anthony Bell, (seen for example in episode 5.10 But Not As Cute As a Pushkin), is seen later as a Stars Hollow resident (7.09 Knit People Knit), and again as a court officer (7.12 To Whom It May Concern). He is listed in the credits for both the Season 7 episodes as Professor Bell, though he CLEARLY does not play Professor Bell.

Rory: Oh, no, wait. I thought of some. Jerk! Ass, arrogant, inconsiderate, mindless, frat-boy, lowlife, butt-faced miscreant!
Logan: [indignantly] "Butt-faced miscreant"
Rory: Why would you do something like that?
Logan: I'm sorry, "butt-faced miscreant"?
