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.
