These are literally the only 3 cases where I use ref tags. I really cannot understand how this is a problem. Your point that it makes is cluttered is the exact opposite of what I am doing. The information is all still there, but as a reader, if I am reading an aliens powers, do I really need to read the episode it was first shown in for every power every time? Do I really need to be told that DJW said so and so or Dwayne or Eugene or someone every time instead of first reading what he actually said? I'm fine with you doing it with crew and episodes, but characters as ref points doesn't make a lot of sense.
