But it is as rigorous and uniform as it needs to be. Citing episodes and citing stories are different types of citation, so they need to look different. That was my point with bringing up the prefixes: in both cases, the need they answer is to make it immediately obvious to the savvy reader what sort of sources is being linked to.
…Actually, a valid solution to this would be to introduce a new prefix, I suppose. With the episode title in italics, but a different prefix from "TV". Something like:
And then the Doctor keeled over and regenerated from sheer aesthetic shock, because they had been a very sensitive Time Lord in this incarnation. (EPISODE: Doctor Who and the Quotationmen - Part 3)
There may be CSS objections which escape me, but if it's feasible, would that resolve your troubles — while still allowing us to cite either whole stories or individual episodes, depending on what is most efficient? (EPISODE is probably not the best prefix name, though, as it wouldn't really fit for prose installments as in the Time Lord Letters case.)
