I agree that there should be some sort of convention. However, a few questions arise:

* How do we go about changing the names of the ones already on the server? Since images can't be renamed like articles, a "rename" would include deleting and reuploading the image -- thus losing all history information (i.e. who uploaded it, changed it, etc.)
* Do we even bother changing the names of images and content already uploaded?

As for conventions, here are some that come to mind:

* Episode Name - Description.jpg
* Episode Abbreviation - Description.jpg
** i.e. Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I would have the abbreviation of KLGI.

In the case of images of one shot characters (for example), we could use the following naming convention:

* Character Name - ##.jpg

The # denotes a two digit number; we should need no more than that.

Or, if we only have one image, then a simpler convention could be used:

* Character Name.jpg
