I'm sure AMC is very proud of itself for trying to be like 24 with its five or six panel split screen, but it does not work for daytime, very umimpressed.

AMC also did this in 2002/2003........ in almost every episode. Anyone else remember that? It was awful and looked so goofy.

I think it was the work of that shitious director--Casey Childs.

Yes, I remember. Like, in one scene, a character would go to the phone and dial a number and then a split screen would pop up showing the character calling and the ringing phone and the other character answering it, and then go in to a full screen of the phone call recipient.

And Casey Childs was always the director when that happened. That, and those seizure inducing swishpans and quick-cuts.

That was also during the awful Rayfield era right? When suddenly AMC was the most newbie filled it's always been? That combined with the weird camera quirks was too much--at least with this it's tied into the investigations and not just casual things like a "hello" telephone conversation

Yes, I'm pretty sure it was Rayfield.

You knwo I get all the hate on for insistencies with the mystery but for now I'm willing to give them the benefit--for the first time in a LONG time I can think of a murder mystery on one of my ABC soaps is actually getting an interesting set up with clear clues, etc. Nothing like the silly serial killers AMC and OLTL especially have been riddled with, etc.
