I don't know if this has been discussed here before, but here it goes...
In the scene where we see Ronnette remembering Laura's murder, we see a shot of Bob running towards the camera. At first it looked like he is running in the train car, but when I watched it frame by frame, it really looked like he runs in some other place.
Now, the interesting thing here is that in the script for the episode 1, in the scene where Sarah has a vision of Laura superimposed on Donna, instead of remembering seeing Bob behind Laura's bed, she sees a vision of Bob running in a hospital corridor.
51. SARAH'S VISION - INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR - NIGHT
Looking down a long corridor, a frightening looking MAN we haven't seen before
comes racing towards us at full speed. We hear some monstrous sound. just as
he's about to reach us we ...
Is that shot of Bob running in Laura's murder scene actually something that was first shot (or intended to shoot) for episode 1?
Or is this some common knowledge that everyone other than me already knows?
Like Jerry Horne says, it was filmed in the hospital. This is a video of Silva talking at Twin Peaks fest. Starting at around 3:00 mins in, he mentions the hospital shots. Great video, Silva seems like he was a prince of a dude. RIP.

Agreed. They really should have included every scrap of footage found.
thanks for including that shot. I had a suspicion that running shot could have been from the pilot, but i think that visually confirms it was shot for ep 8 and used accordingly.
I agree that they should have released that footage on the Blurays, but nevertheless the scene as edited in the episode, overimposing train and hospital, is wonderful...

If they did, it'd be definitely my favorite extra feature. Thanks CBS

According to the script, it was shot for ep. 1, for Sarah's vision but dropped and then used in Ronette's nightmare on ep. 8 right?

This seems to be the case. When I saw the script for ep 1, that was my assumption as well.

The only thing that makes me wonder about this is how ferocious Bob seems in the hospital footage. The first few times we meet him - in the dream and hiding behind the bed - he's less a snarling beast than a creepy-looking drifter. Only in ep. 8 does he become more animalistic. And it seems more like a Lynch image (though then again it's so heavily manipulated, it's hard to tell). It would be REALLY interesting to see the original footage.
And note that he's biting/snapping his teeth, which is the first hint that Bob is a kind of mouth incarnate, built to consume...this seems to be a Lynch addition to the Bob mythos and is a very Lynchian theme in general (mouths, food, vomiting, eating, etc...)

I am thinking it had to have been filmed for episode 8. Given that the exit sign/doorway in the screenshots match and they never used that particular filming location in season 1 (to my knowledge).
