“Twin Peaks,” David Lynch’s noir soap opera about murder in small-town America, returned on Sunday after 26 years away, prompting an outpouring of joy — and a collective scratching of heads. The compelling mystery of the original eight-episode “Twin Peaks” — who killed the beautiful cheerleader Laura Palmer — captured the imagination of a generation in 1990 and it was held up as frontrunner for a new kind of cinema-quality TV. – Talking trees –Audiences and critical appreciation waned when the 22-episode second series unmasked Palmer’s killer and ABC canceled the show. A movie that followed, “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me,” was a commercial and critical flop. The story, written by Lynch with “Twin Peaks” co-creator Mark Frost, picks up with Agent Cooper in the red-draped Black Lodge, where Palmer (Sheryl Lee) told him she would see him in 25 years.
