This week, the long-awaited Blu-ray set for Twin Peaks -- under the title Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery -- was released, giving the series its first-ever HD release, while also pairing it with the feature film prequel, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, for the first time. In honor of the occasion, we're updating our 'Why Twin Peaks Ruled' feature first written for the show's 20th Anniversary in 2010.
