For me, this goes to the "principle of least

The titles of many episodes are common phrases. It is not unlikely that
someone might link to that phrase. It is a good thing that the default
target for such a link is **not** a TV episode which happens to use it.
But in
those cases wouldn't it be more appropriate to actually have an
article about the common phrase? That way the normal disambiguation state
kicks in and a parenthetical is warranted. Other episodes with titles that
aren't common phrases wouldn't be disambiguated, but they also wouldn't be
astonishing so they wouldn't need a special rule like this.
Bryan he speak good sense :-)
Yes, I absolutely agree. The point being that if the link to such a common
phrase comes up "blue", editors will assume that such an article already
exists, whereas if it comes up "red" they might be inclined to go and write
it.
