Reliable sources? For an episode? Let me think how can we get that... Hmm... Hmm... Oh RIGHT! How about the episode itself? Its quite reliable and verifiable. Each time you watch it it is the same story, same plot.
That is not a reliable, independent, secondary source.
And sourcing is not a bureaucratic checklist. The source text being discussed is obviously relevant to an article and, if objectively checkable, certainly citable.

While true, it is not in itself sufficient for an article. Independent, reliable, secondary sources decide if a subject is significant enough to write a significant amount on. If they say no, we follow suit and say no, and make a quick entry on a list. We don't second-guess them. Though the list entry can certainly cite the primary source.
