I haven't had a chance to add this to my media handling guide yet, but there is a way to handle a situation like this doesn't require re-encoding or command line. You can use an application called avidemux. You can drag and drop the file in, set your start point on the timeline, set your end point, and when you save it'll spit out a file pretty quickly.
There are a couple of downsides to avidemux
1) It will only split on I-frames, but this shouldn't be a problem for you. Because you're chopping up episodes, you should have plenty of black space between episodes to comfortably set your start and end points on I-frames.
2) It'll chop your video and audio, but it won't split subtitles for you.
If you have any questions, give me a shout.
