The use of split-screen in this episode is very impressive, and I would actually rate it as the best use of split screen I've ever seen.

It really advances the story-line quickly and excitingly where a conventional approach would have been slower and more cumbersome.

Usually split screen is gimmicky and aside from that 70s Michael Crichton film about a deadly germ outbreak, can't remember what its called, I can't think of any film which comes close.

I could be totally wrong about this because I'm going completely by memory, but didn't they use split screen sequences in "Short Fuse"?

i'm not sure about that c.g. but they did flip back and forth between showing roger with betty bishop at that disco place and then showing david buckner in the limo.

I agree, I don't think it was split-screen, more like scene-flipping, but sort of the same concept.
