However, it wouldn’t be a proper top-ten list if I started doing that.
A bottle episode is when an installment is filmed entirely or primarily in one location.
In trueResident Alienstyle, some are hilarious, others tug quite aggressively at the heartstrings.
It kickstarts the murder mystery storyline that runs throughoutResident Alienseason 1, and even bleeds into season 2.
On paper, it sounds like something that should be either darkly dramatic or a sidesplitting sci-fi parody.
Impressively, “Pilot” somehow manages to fit both categories, without solidly fitting into either.

The twist of the shapeshifting Mantid taking Harry’s place on Earth promises an exciting beginning toResident Alienseason 4.
The entire sequence is immaculately executed, and incredibly exciting.
Peter Bach’s heartbreaking backstory is also heavily addressed via flashbacks in “Best of Enemies.”
Plus,Peter Bach’s apparent death goes on to plant a seed for his awesome season 3 comeback.
The episode is an excellent exploration of what the real Harry Vanderspeigle was like.
It would take a massive installment to dethrone “Heroes Of Patience” asResident Alien’s best episode.
