Question of the week #7

[treonb]

The marriage at the centre of the show is the one between Philip and Elizabeth, but there's another marriage that looms large as well: the one between Stan and Sandra. Both marriages have problems.

So here's this week's question: To what extent are those problems similar, or are they entirely different?  You can expect spoilers for the entire first season in the comments.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

Interesting. I look forward to hearing things from Philip's perspective!

I actually wrote a series very much like what you're writing once--centring stories around particular episodes, spanning decades--for a different fandom. And I've never seen it done other than that anywhere else in fandom (everybody else has always kind of poked fun at me about my obsession with keeping things canon-compliant and using canon in very deliberate ways in my stories, in fact), which is one of the many things that makes your work so fascinating to me.
