I don't mind these tables at all. I quite like them, actually. But there is one issue that popped up when we were choosing images for Stock Poses. The page has now such a table with thumbnail images. At the beginning we thought that the table would replace the index, but indexing doesn't work in the table.
That could be an argument for re-formatting the page (The Film of the Series). BTW, the solution for Stock Poses was to include two indexes at one page — one to keep the tropes listed, and the second for the visual appeal.
I think Sorting Algorithm of Mortality and Sorting Algorithm of Deadness, to name two, use table format. Same with Dueling Shows or Dueling Series, though I'm not sure if that even exists anymore.

Whoever did the page for The Film of the Series formatted it in a really weird table format I've not seen anywhere else on the wiki, and IMO it's just an eye-sore and makes the page to seem to much like a Wikipedia article.
