thread_title: Gathers scene

message: In the hallucinogenic dream sequence, it's strongly implied that Brock Samson is riding the dolphin while, uh, riding the dolphin.  I guess I don't understand the mechanics of this copulation... he's sitting on top of the animal, behind the dorsal fin, where no orifices could possibly be reached.  In addition to being just plain gross, it doesn't make any sense! --M.Neko 02:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  DREAM SEQUENCE CONFUSION 

message: ::I've been cleaning up episode articles using WP:EPISODE, WP:NOT, WP:V, WP:OR, WP:RS, and WP:WAF as touchstones.  Most of the articles on television episodes fail outright, but I've started with trivia and references to popular culture sections.  This looks pretty cut and dried to me.  Unless the show's creators said it in the media or a 3rd party source that passes muster with WP:V and WP:RS publishes it somewhere, it is original research and needs to be removed.  No longer can we tolerate edits that restate jokes from the episode or say that a scene in the episode looks like a scene in another work or is a parody/homage of another work in its entireity  Here are some of the relevant sections; the emphasis is in the original, I've highlighted the meat of it in green.

replies: text: That is a good one too.  The problem is, in many cases, not the trivia itself but the lack of cited sources.  An editor claimed earlier that the episode itself is a source.  That is true but only to a limited extent.  The episode itself is a primary source and as such can only be used as a source for things that happen in that episode (and you still have to cite the show as a source per WP:CITE) and can not be used for claims relating to other works.  that is, if you watch the episode and think that something that happens therein is a reference to a scene in another work, you will need to cite a secondary source (not the episode itself) that makes that connection.  To attribute motivations to the writers of a show (did the writers intend to make a reference to that other work) absent a source that backs up that claim is called original research and is not allowed in the encyclopedia.
