No, I don’t know what just happened, either.

Let’s cut to the chase on that.

The eighth episode of Showtime’s revivedTwin Peakswent Full Cosmic, an hour-long spiraling portrait of supernatural surrealism.

It all has to do with the first detonation of the nuclear bomb, on July 16, 1945.

BOB, question mark?

Laura Palmer, question mark?

Also, “The” Nine Inch Nails.

This post will be barely helpful.

Until then, here are the main talking points.

But Ray outwitted his foul friend, shooting him.

Ghastly, charred figures emerged out of the shadows.

We can perhaps refer to them as the “Woodsmen” one of them (their leader?)

The Woodsmen surrounded the fallen doppelganger, seemed almost to be tearing into him, or perhaps blessing him?

Ray fled and called Phillip Jeffries.

He said something about how something “may be the key to what this is all about.”

That would be helpful!

The first detonation of the nuclear bomb.

We seem to move into the ensuing mushroom cloud.

Strange mad things happen on screen, perhaps destruction, perhaps the birth of destruction.

The Woodsmen appeared, laying claim to a Convenience Store.

They moved a little bit like the woman from the Purple Room, outside the usual flow of time.

BOB is born?We saw a… being?

Floating in… space?

And she was vomiting or spitting or giving birth to… a lot of somethings?

And one of those somethings was… an orb?

With BOB’s face?

A woman (credited as “Senorita Dido”) was in a room.

There seemed to be some sort of alarm.

The Giant appeared or anyhow, a character who looks like the Giant.

The Giant went to a theater and watched the montage we just saw.

Nuclear bomb, check; Woodsmen in the convenience store, check; BOB inside the orb, check.

A golden light emerged from his mouth.

The woman (his wife?

The allegorical Feminine to his allegorical Masculine?

Literally Dido, the first Queen of Carthage?

Literally Dido, the singer of “Thank You”?)

stared up at him, scared and fascinated and happy.

A golden orb descended.

Inside of this orb: Laura Palmer.

(Or: Laura Palmer’s face.)

(Or: Laura Palmer’s legacy.)

Did it end up in the Pacific Northwest?

Got a light?Time passed in New Mexico.

In 1956, a young boy walked a young girl home.

They found a penny: heads up, for good luck.

In the desert, the charred figures of the Woodsmen appeared.

They scared drivers on the road.

One Woodsman in particular kept asking: “Got a light?

Got a light?”

What does this mean?

It means AMERICA, MAN, seriously I dunno, will watch again tonight I promise.)

The Woodsman made his way to the KPJK radio HQ.

He killed the secretary and the radio man, digging in their faces until his fingers bled.

(Well,theybled.)

But maybe the message wasn’t important.

He seemed to be hypnotizing the townspeople, who all fell asleep.

And a horror came then.

We had seen a strange creature born out in the desert.

It found the home of the little girl.

It came in through her window just like BOB inFire Walk With Me.

And it crawled into the little girl’s mouth.

The Woodsman walked back into the desert.

WHAT DID IT ALL MEAN?

Here’s one theory:

But don’t worry!
