You're welcome, Ashley Renee Smith. It is a fun topic! I've seen bottle episodes, but I’ve never thought about writing one until I read this blog. I plan on putting a bottle episode(s) in the TV series I’m outlining.

Thanks Maurice! I've never heard this term before, but am very familiar with seeing these types of episodes. It's cool to look at TV shows from a new angle!

You're welcome, William Joseph Hill. I've seen bottle episodes, but I didn't know they were called that until Jordan made a post in the Screenwriting Lounge the other day. I plan on writing some bottle episodes now. I'm gonna watch more bottle episodes and try to get my hands on the scripts for research.
