Is anyone else eagerly awaiting the arrival of taboo starring my lover the beautiful Mr Hardy on Saturday 7th of jan?

Or do I have him all to myself? Grin

I assumed that Zilpha and her father were estranged so Lorna wouldn't have met her, happypoo?

VivDeering · 30/01/2017 16:34

The last episode may also be my last - it's the excessive gore and violence and the portrayal of women... just not entertainment in my book.

I expected him to just say No to the duel at the end, I liked how the tv person said "That'll be a short episode"Grin JD doesn't really have any trouble dealing with any challengers.

I think JD has a slight soft spot for Lorna , she's feisty, more than just protecting his business interests.

Still no chemistry with Zilpha IMO, even if they are having dream-sex, altho tbh I would have dream sex with anyone rather than her dick of a husband. And obv dream-sex (or any kind) with JD gets a thumbs up, he would need a good bath first tho Grin

How does everyone know suddenly that he was peeping with his sister? Who let that out of the bag? I don't think it can be assumed just because they were talking to each other secretively, that could have been about anything including the inheritance.

littletike · 30/01/2017 17:57

I feel so wrong fancying him in this!

I may be wrong but was the young boy witness at the farm the same young boy from the earlier episode and same farm?

Brontebiscuits · 30/01/2017 18:07

We all went through the 'it's wrong to fancy a violent killer' with Paul Spector in The Fall. Just go with it. Grin

OneWithTheForce · 30/01/2017 18:16

Didn't Lorna and old Delaney marry in Dublin? Perhaps he never brought her home to London. She didn't appear to be for familiar with the house when she arrived. I don't think she wasn't ever introduced to Zilpha so although she knew of her existence She wouldn't have recognised her.

"How does everyone know suddenly that he was peeping with his sister? "

NBecause her husband has told everyone?

I was actually under the impression that that was why he was sent away & the father disowned her.

littletike · 30/01/2017 20:29

Ah Brontebiscuits yes him too Grin

As a sort of aside, was anyone else surprised at how hairy Tom Hollander's thighs were? -dirty litte monkey-

Skooba · 31/01/2017 13:35

Gawd, I didn't dare look near his thighs - it was so realistic I was scared what I might see!

SapphireStrange · 31/01/2017 13:36

I've always thought of Tom Hollander as the hairy type, personally.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/02/2017 15:08

Thanks for recap :)

I do have subtitles on as the mutter

Horse def knew something was up. He took a whack to the head but survived quite well

Def had a bath before the ball 😂

Still don't really understand the story preg and blonde

JellyWitch · 01/02/2017 15:50

I gave up at the end of episode 3. The mumbling was driving me nuts, the plot seemed slow as snails and the characters weren't really gripping me. I was watching more because I ought to like it than because I really did. And TH leaves me cold.

Brontebiscuits · 04/02/2017 20:38

Looking forward to some more batshit voodoo mumbling from under Tom's hat later...

happypoobum · 04/02/2017 20:52

Subtitles set...........

OneWithTheForce · 04/02/2017 21:19

Brontebiscuits · 04/02/2017 21:21

Looks like it! Ominous music is certainly suggesting so...

OneWithTheForce · 04/02/2017 21:21

Ooh looks likely

OneWithTheForce · 04/02/2017 21:24

A polite exchange of bullets Grin

Lorna is falling for him...

OneWithTheForce · 04/02/2017 22:14

Episode 5 recap:

A duel has been arranged. JD and ugly BIL take their positions. UglyBIL fires first but there is no bullet in his pistol. JD has chance at killing him but refrains and instead kills the now fleeing "second" who he suggests is an EI company man who sabotaged Ugly's gun.

The kings men search for the stolen salt Peter and find no sign of it in JDs offices or house.

JD is followed by an unidentified man as he rides to his gun powder factory. He separates the man from some of his flesh with his curvy knife.

Lorna Bow produces the sought after trunk of Old Delaney's belongings. Brace/Bryce? Is scared of its contents and suggests burning it.

The chemist sets his eye on Lorna Bow. JD grunts. He appoints the young boy as the chemists apprentice.

JD cuts the thumb off one of his men who he accuses of planning to collect the £10 reward offered for info on the stolen salt Peter.

The EI company are increasingly pissed at their inability to catch JD.

The American doctor tells JD he needs his gun powder. JD tells the chemist he needs to speed up the process but chemist advises it is too dangerous and requires more men. The chemist asks JD if he is willing to risk his son's (the boy) life for it. JD doesn't answer.

The king grants permission for an investigation into the sinking of a ship by the EI company that killed over 300 slaves 9/10 years ago. EI company boss man shits himself.

UglyBIL arranges a priest to perform an exorcism (sexual assault) on Zilpha after he (ugly) has violently assaulted her when she had another dream about JD.

Nice recap One!
JD grunting has returned. There was at least 10 minutes JD-less screen time! Wink

justdontevenfuckingstart · 04/02/2017 22:25

Do i need to watch this or can i just google Tom? Have watched up til tonight.

happypoobum · 04/02/2017 22:26

But Carlsbad didn't seem to know anything about the Irish Gunpowder thing did she?

I would like to see Lorna and JD get together. She will probably die a horrible death though Sad

You were all right about the boy being JD son. I think Zilpha will kill her husband now.

Lots of lovely grunting...........
