I don't know if it's the first time we have this problem, but here it is: what should be done if a trope and a new work have the same name?

Case in point, the Showtime series about Executive Meddling called Episodes. The page Episodes is a list of tropes applying to whole episodes. Should the current "Episodes" page be renamed or a namespace be used for the show Episodes?

Use a namespace for the series. Works get primary claim on titles, but the exception is when the work is explicitly named for a trope or has a stupidly generic title, and I think this counts as the latter.

Really, all works should be namespaced, we're just not consistent about applying that rule.
