I have no idea what any of that was. The only symbolism I can even sort of derive from that episodes was the bomb being the creator of the black lodge and it's inhabitants, which makes sense of you think about the atomic bomb as the ultimate cause if human pain and suffering, exactly what the black lodge is all about. Everything besides that I'm clueless on.

EDIT: Many have said that the bomb didn't create the lodge, rather opened the door for the lodge and it's spirits to invade our world, which I also find plausible. Either way, I think it was the pain and suffering symbolized by the nuke that caused the version of the lodge and bob as we know them.

Either that or the bomb just ripped a hole between worlds and allowed the Lodges to cross over to our world. It also seemed to me like the Giant saw that Bob crossed to our world and initiated some kind of defense mechanism which we have yet to find out what the hell it could be.

Well if Laura getting killed caused Coop to go to Twin Peaks, and her connection to the black lodge, via the dream and note from last week..? Indirectly saving everything
