Should I link tvtropes?

[Serpenthrope]

Hey, I just recently started blogging (obviously, link to my blog is in my signature), and I had a friend make a suggestion, but I'm a bit reluctant to take it. I referenced Nothing is Scarier in my review, and my friend said that if I'm going to reference a trope I should link to the relevant tvtropes page.

That just seems really intrusive to me, and I feel like anyone who didn't know what I meant could figure it out from context pretty easily.

Opinions?
