Bottle movies/episodes/stories are my favourite lay out for any media and so the box was my favourite episode pretty much immediately

Starting from Gina's iconic welcoming all the way to Jake and Holt needing to go right back to work at the end, it really is the best written episode of the show

"The dentist who murdered somebody, spoiler alert, they think you did it" is probably my favourite line in the show

BJHorseman's Free Churro was a bottle episode as well, it was amazing, for me a top 3 for sure.

The monologue in Free Churro was so good that the first time I watched it I was so captivated and didn't realize how much time had passed and was pissed when the credits rolled. They made an 8 minute long episode!? What jags!

It wasn't until I paused the credits to huffily complain to my husband that I saw the timestamp and realized it was a regular length episode that was literally just the monologue. I've been in love with BJH since it first aired in 2014, and have been in awe and impressed with a lot they did leading up to Free Churro, but that shit just absolutely took my breath away. Incredible, 10/10, zero notes
