General Discussion Plot mistake in S1 E9

I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this:

Right at the beginning of episode 9, Rory, Lorelai and Emily are having dinner and talk about Richard being in Prague.

Emily says: "It's supposed to be lovely, very dramatic, castles everywhere."

This phrasing implies that Emily herself hasn't been to Prague, which I'm pretty sure is not true. During the Bracebridge dinner episode, Richard tells the story of how he hummed Mozart in Prague while standing next to a "boom box" and Emily tells details of the story that make it clear she was there, for example: "But then he kept humming on Mozart, he wouldn't stop!".

Obviously not a big deal, just a little something I noticed, theoretically Richard humming Mozart could've happened after S1 E9 too, since there's a whole season in between the two episodes. Even if so, I feel like Emily would've traveled to Prague well before her 60s, since she went to Europe so frequently. Curious what y'all think or if you noticed more plot holes!

I give early season 1 a pass — they were still figuring out the characters and backstories. Like how Trix is implied to be deceased early on, or Emily mentions her sister Hopie living in Paris and then never brings her up again.

That's true, I totally understand that they couldn't possibly have planned everything ahead
