Wednesday Mar 18, 2026

This week, on Insane Troll Logic, Nathaniel and Maggie tackle two more episodes of Angel, talking the weirdly developed supporting cast of the fitfully funny Happy Anniversary, and the mostly well-meaning but short sighted examination of police brutality that drives Thin Dead Line.

Wednesday Mar 11, 2026

Wednesday Mar 11, 2026

This week, on Insane Troll Logic, Maggie and Nathaniel cover the drama of Dawn's horrific discovery (and start to unearth the greater themes of season 5) with Blood Ties, and generally heave an annoyed sigh at the climax of the "Funny Stalker Storyline" (and wonder if Spike's charm has worn thin?) with Crush. But, Drusilla is there, so the hosts are kinda okay?

Tuesday Mar 03, 2026

This week, on Insane Troll Logic, Nathaniel and Maggie talk The Watchers, Knights, and Glory in Buffy episode "Checkpoint," and continue talking about the descent of Angel (and the messy stories that result) in "Blood Money." 

Tuesday Feb 24, 2026

This week, on Insane Troll Logic, Maggie and Nathaniel take on two more episodes of Angel! We're talking the return of Darla and Drusilla, the beginning of Angel's next story arc (and why it may not work exactly as intended) and a new direction for the Wolfram & Hart side of the ongoing narrative! Come for the queer subtext, stay for the pretentious voiceover!

Monday Feb 16, 2026

This week, on Insane Troll Logic, Nathaniel and Maggie try to have some fun and good humor with two more episode of Buffy. Nathaniel attempts (in vain) to re-write Riley's departure (we'll miss you, good boy) and Maggie has some strong opinions about babies...in fictional narratives.
