In a bonus episode of EW’s podcast this week, we address some of those thoughts.
This weekend, we finally return toTwin Peaks.
It’s been 26 years sincethe fascinating, frustrating, utterly unique second season.

We’ve spent the last few weeks looking back at the original series.
Now, we can all look ahead.
On Monday, we’ll begin our weekly look at the new season.
Think about it: Cooper returns to the mystery Whodidn’tkill Laura Palmer?
Why is Laura still alive?'
All kinds of quantum mechanics & string theory at play!
As in literally, in the flesh.
There is so much to love about this idea.
The season 2 finale ofTwin Peaksplayed openly (albeit opaquely) with the idea of doppelgangers.
He saw a blank-eyed Leland Palmer, who smirkishly declared, “I didn’t kill anyone.”
And Cooper finally met a variation of his own self a dark half who took claim of his body.
Fire Walk With Meplayed with the notion of doppelgangers, but with even more obtuse and tantalizing possibilities.
The meta-reality is an interesting idea.
It’s a descendant from the early inklings of DC’s multiverse.
This leads inevitably and awesomely to the possibility of an entireTwin Peaksmultiverse.
This could retroactively explain some of the wilder elements of the second season.
(Perhaps there is aTwin Peaksworld where Little Nicky the Devil Child rules supreme.)
How’s Annie!!!!"
Except it will probably be even more complicated than that.
And we can’t wait!
