Most of the sources appear to be episodes.  I explained how
interpreting episodes is original research, and asked for some more
sources.  So they went and cited more episodes.  Either I am
completely wrong here or someone needs to go and explain to these
people patiently but in words of one syllable that "cite your sources"
does not mean name the episode in which you saw the plot device which
leads you to conclude something.
