- Alternate versionsMany overseas versions (including Europe and Japan) replaced the stain Maddy sees on the carpet with a rather cheap video effect of Bob's face distorting in and out (the footage of Bob was lifted from the vision of him Cooper has towards the end of the next episode). This version was also released to home video in these territories, but all DVD and Blu ray versions restore the original scene.

Twin Peaks is an American television serial drama created by Mark Frost and David Lynch that premiered on April 8, 1990, on ABC. It was one of the top-rated shows of 1990, but declining ratings led to its cancellation after its second season in 1991.
Season 2:
"Episode 8" also known as "May the Giant Be with You", is the first episode of the second season of the American mystery television series Twin Peaks. The episode was written by series co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, and directed by David Lynch. The plot has a humor incredible mystery that you keep guessing what secrets Laura did had and who killed her? This episode has heart and soul we see Dale Cooper ling on the floor of his hotel room after being shot in the stomach and the waiter keeps bugging him and they have such a beautiful funny dialogues that I was laughing. We find out a lot with people's lives that happened from the end of the first season: Leo Johnson (Eric Da Re) was shot, Jacques Renault (Walter Olkewicz) was strangled, the mill burned, Shelly Johnson (Mädchen Amick) and Pete Martell (Jack Nance)got smoking hallucinations. Catherine Martell (Piper Laurie) and Jocelyn Packard (Joan Chen) are missing and Nadine Hurley (Wendy Robie) is in the coma for taking sleeping pills. It starts strong and ends with a shocking and scary vision of Laura is been killed. I can't wait for Season 2 to watch it all episodes.
May the Giant Be with You is the best start of Season 2 it is my favorite and episode. It is a classic masterpiece including whole TV series I love it to death. Bobby visits Shelly in the hospital and she express her feelings to him and so does he, it is a touching scene, than Bobby reconnects with his father in a surprisingly touching scene that comes out of nowhere. There are more cryptic clues to remember in a viewer's quest for the killer. And, there are more characters added in it is a fill of thrill. I give 10/10 Grade: Bad Ass Seal Of Approval.
