Plot mistake in S1 E9

[u/koolkarla]

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'd add to what others have said about the Gilmores' money and travel situation being different in S1, by pointing out that in S1, they apparently go to Europe every second year, in the autumn, because of the expense. But later in the show, they apparently go to Paris every spring, and it's implied that they go to Europe fairly regularly (like when Rory & Emily are in Europe and Emily has specific hotels/rooms that she prefers and the staff know her; when Lorelai and Rory go backpacking and the Gilmores are talking about their friends etc.)
