} As a British TP fanatic who's only found this newsgroup in the last couple

Nit: the second season opener is Episode #8. The original pilot movie is
*not* counted in the episode numbering.

} In the British version, Maddy looks down at the bloodstain in the rug
} and sees an image of BOB. What happens in the US (original) version?

She sees just the bloodstain. There's no image of BOB. Otherwise, the
scene is identical. I think the addition of the BOB image adds to the
scene. Just seeing an image of a bloodstain might be scary, but I think
it would be more likely to evoke puzzlement rather than screaming fear.
Seeing BOB in the stain also makes a basis for her later reactions at
seeing BOB (not that the sight of BOB crawling over the furniture
wouldn't be frightening enough).
