The Bottle Epsilon

I think bottle episode is one of the only terms that starts out as a production term and becomes a critical term, right? Like, like, say, Phil Noire, it has the other trajectory. I mean, just famously double indemnity was produced as a melodrama. And then it's only after the fact that people said, Oh, wait, this is a film noir. Bottle episode seems to be one of the few that goes in but in a few concepts that goes in this direction from production to criticism. Although maybe it hasn't even really fully gone into criticism.
