Baywatch would do this occasionally and they'd often be among the show's better episodes.in which the scene was depicted without CGI- or even seeing the battle at all- but rather by the reactions of the bridge crew to the audio of the space battle. An episode contained an extended space battle scene.They were intended to be spread across the entire season, but they all ended up being put into one episode. The flashbacks had all been shot during the hiatus between seasons. The episode "Unfinished Business" consisted almost entirely of a boxing tournament in a single room and flashbacks to the time on New Caprica.Ron Moore mentioned at one point that it was a shame that they could not have shot more scenes aboard the civilian ships in the fleet. Battlestar Galactica (2003): A lot of the action happens in the eponymous Battlestar, especially the CIC.Of 175 episodes produced 1975-1982, only thirteen episodes showed scenes outside the station: "Ramon", "Graft", "The Stakeout", "Hair", "The Hero", " Grand Hotel", "Fish", "Wojo's Girl" part 2 (itself a Bottle Episode as the whole episode took place in Wojo's apartment), "Contempt" parts 1 & 2, "Chinatown" parts 1 & 2, and "Eviction" part 2. The economic benefits were just a happy side effect. Word of God says that the whole philosophy behind Barney Miller was to make a show that resembled a classic stage play. The show was never a big ratings hit but managed to last eight seasons because it was incredibly inexpensive to make. About once a year they would do an episode where characters actually went outside, but after a few seasons, even this was dropped. Characters would come and go, but their interactions with the world outside the office were almost always told and not shown. Every episode took place in the same squad office at the police station, which consisted of three small rooms: the main office, the holding cell, and Barney's office. The classic sitcom Barney Miller was nothing BUT bottle episodes.The Banshee episode "Tribal" takes place almost exclusively in the CADI, as it is under siege by Chayton and the Redbones.The only other main character who appears is Delenn, who appears only as a non-speaking hallucination. It is also notable in having been done with one continuous take for each act of the show, and having only one main character (Sheridan) speak. It is widely regarded as the most emotionally-charged episode of all the series. In Babylon 5, the Season 4 episode "Intersections In Real Time", the main character (Sheridan) was in a cell, being psychologically tortured to make him break.Angel: " Spin the Bottle" has at least the tendencies of a Bottle Episode: most of the episode takes place in the hotel, with no guest stars and an "amnesia" concept that makes for a low need of special effects.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: " As I Have Always Been" takes place almost entirely on Zephyr One, which is caught in the temporal equivalent of a Negative Space Wedgie due to a malfunctioning time drive, only leaving this setting to show how some villains are faring in The Stinger.It wasn't quite a Clip Show because they weren't showing these shots as "highlights," they're just used as stock stuff, even though some of it (the fight from "Mind Machine") were fairly notable. The Season 1 episode "Crime Wave" consists largely of clips from earlier episodes. Not only were many of the same shots used in many episodes (the establishing shot of the Daily Planet, Clark running into an alley emerging as Superman, the same shot of Superman flying and looking to his left superimposed over different backdrops) but in any given season, every scene in the usual sets, such as Perry White's office were filmed within a few days, and for the most part, the seasons were all filmed within two weeks. The Adventures of Superman is an early example.
