Including poem that each episode title is based on[edit]

Each of the episode titles is the same, or very similar, to a poem by Emily Dickinson. Alena Smith, presumably the speaking of the title poem, has said “It’s not that in each episode she writes a poem, but each episode uses one of her poems in order to explore a given theme."^[1] I'm wondering if people have ideas on how best to link to each of the poems that these episode titles are based on. It's not right to link it directly in the episode table's title field, as that always links to the episode page, but we could instead link it directly below the title, like so:

No. overall	No. in season	Title	Directed by	Written by	Original release date
1	1	"Because I could not stop" (based on "Because I could not stop for Death")	David Gordon Green	Alena Smith	November 1, 2019 (2019-11-01)
In 19th century Amherst, Massachusetts, a young Emily Dickinson is tired of her family's attempts to find her a suitor. The latest is a friend of hers, George, who agrees to publish one of Emily's poems. Emily then finds out that her brother Austin proposed to her best friend, Sue. Austin tells his parents his plans to move himself and Sue to Detroit, however his dad wants him to remain in Amherst. Afterwards, Emily and Sue meet and Emily asks Sue to always love her more than Austin and they kiss. George then tells Emily that her poem will be published in the next edition of the magazine, but Emily is afraid of her father's reaction. At dinner, Emily's father announces he plans to run for Congress, Austin announces he and Sue will remain in Amherst, and Emily tells her family about her poem being published. At the latter, Emily's father yells at her about ruining the family name. In her mind, Emily meets with Death and discusses her poems. That night, Emily's father talks about how he doesn't want to lose her and asks her not to marry and move away.

Alternatively, we could use something similar to what shows like Switched at Birth have done with "----". I think this looks cleaner than having it with the title. QueerFilmNerd^talk 20:15, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. That does look cleaner, and I'm all for consistency with other articles. Rmaloney3 (talk) 20:20, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. This looks much cleaner. Thanks for the suggestion. Rmaloney3 (talk) 22:55, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
