Fans think time makes no sense in the show
In a Reddit thread asking fans to name their weirdest complaint about "Gilmore Girls," u/OneCoolPotatowedge pointed to the show's convoluted sense of time, writing, "I feel like time is always so off on the show." In response, u/polkaspotteapot gave the example of the 24-hour dance marathon in Season 3 Episode 7, "They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They?" In the episode, at the end of the dance marathon (which would be at 5 am Sunday), Dean (Jared Padalecki) and Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) are still present despite being there for nearly the entire 24 hours, Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) shows up in the outfit she left in the night before, and Dave (Adam Brody) says his parents went to a bible study, allowing him to see Lane (Keiko Agena).
Another user, u/buubkittyy, wrote, "When it's night/dark out & they're making plans for 'later.' I never understood that." Other fans also noted that the Gilmores appear to have more time than the average person, with u/nuhanala, quipping, "They seem to have 3 hours of Gilmore time to every normal human hour." Another user, u/elizag19, brought up an additional example: When Jess picks up Rory from a nighttime hockey game and then they go to a concert afterward in Season 3's "Face-Off."
Meanwhile, as u/Padme1418, pointed out, the sun is always out before Lorelai and Rory have to go to work and school plus the Gilmores always seem to have tons of free time in the morning. To this point, u/OneGoodRib, responded, "I hate that, that happens on every single tv show and movie ... Usually when I was in school the sun would rise while I was on the bus and wouldn't be fully up until homeroom had started."
