That sounds fine to me. If something is specifically stated in an
episode, then it can be used in the article with the episode as a
primary source.
Moreover, the court martial was actually convened in such a fashion
during the episode, so this is an instance of poor wording that
appears to be OR rather than actual original research.
In regards to the rest of the article, I'm kind of torn here.
Obviously we need sources for comparisons or claims of influence. On
the other hand, if a fictional trial obviously resembles a US military
court martial, why can't we just say that?
