Very well done analysis, and I must say I agree. There are clearly problems with mob mentality among the siblings in 1v10 episodes, and I will continue to preach that by far the worst moments on the show come from those 10 (usually all the sisters) hurting the other (usually Lincoln) when the one doesn't deserve it. They make me angry more than anything else for the exact reasons you stated: it's so out of character for at least 2 siblings in each situation.

With that being said, fans crying for a ban on all intersibling conflict are whiny babies who either never had siblings themselves or were coddled. Siblings by their very nature are bound to fight. It's an inevitability. If these conflicts are executed well, they make for stellar episodes. If done poorly, they can be the worst. It all depends on who is writing them.

One thing I would like to see in the future is more variance in conflicts. Instead restricting it to every Loud for themself, 10v1, or 5v5, I'd like some variance. Maybe have 8 against 3 or something similar. That would definitely be interesting to see.
