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

Ok, so I'm watching Taboo again (with subtitles) before tomorrow night's finale.

I'm on episode 5. I've missed so much info it's untrue Blush.

Bloody enjoying it even more the second time. Note to self: do not watch important Tom Hardy drama when I am tired and unable to absorb full info. 'Tis a waste.

Roll on tomorrow night 👍

JamesDelaneysHat · 24/02/2017 22:14

I rewatched episode 1 last night. Last time I saw it I didn't have the huge crush I have on Tom Hardy that I do now, so not only did the plot make more sense, I appreciated the view a lot more too.

I reckon Sir Stuart has had it tomorrow night. And it will all be gruesome and violent. But will JD get his hat back, like Indiana Jones always got his back?!

Arkengarthdale · 24/02/2017 23:23

I too have watched the first few episodes again and now understand so much more. I hadn't picked up that the India Co knew that JD served on the Cornwallis.

Hadn't remembered where the American doctor with horrendous teeth came into it.

Tom Hollander is superb as the louche chemist.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Merlin40 · 25/02/2017 19:22

I am hoping there is less torture tonight, as there was a good 15 mins I struggled to watch and I want to be glued for the full hour!!

PassTheCremeEggs · 25/02/2017 19:29

SO excited about tonight. DH and I on the countdown rewatching the earlier episodes

OneWithTheForce · 25/02/2017 19:33

Good evening!! Signing in for the final episode! I am expecting a huge revelation or explosive dramas. What are the chances? Please don't let me down hardy men.

DH and i have started communicating by grunting dismissively at each other

Grin I have no-one to watch with so people would just think I'm being a rude bastard if I grunted at them.

I also think sir Stuart will have a sticky demise. No more torture tonight I don't think, tonight he escapes

Oh heavens I'm so excited! I've had wine and need to stay sober for the finale.

Very late to Tom hardy fan club and taboo have watched every single one today whilst ill in bed. It's been a pleasure.

JamesDelaneysHat · 25/02/2017 19:57

So, predictions on who is going to die?
Here's mine:

Sir Stuart. Obvs.
Zilpha.
Godfrey.
Brace.
Helga (unfortunately)
Atticus.

I would be gutted if Lorna cops it.

OneWithTheForce · 25/02/2017 20:06

Oh not Godfrey!! I like him.

E. X. C. I. T. E. D.

I've watched them all again except last week's. Man, I am ready 👍

Tom Hardy, don't you dare disappoint me.

(Oh and I don't want Zilpha to die. I don't know why because I don't even like her. I think he still loves her really. Yes I do know this isn't real 😉).

JamesDelaneysHat · 25/02/2017 20:18

Oh dear, I reckon he's got no chance...
Betrayed the EIC, madly in love with JD. He's had it!
I think Zilpha will survive actually.

JamesDelaneysHat · 25/02/2017 20:20

That was about Godfrey by the way..

Yes I agree about Zilpha, Wine. But he should love Lorna.

HemanOrSheRa · 25/02/2017 20:27

Oooh. 'I have a use for you'. Mmmm. I bet you do, you gorgeous man. I am a complete convert to Tom Hardy. Or maybe James Delaney. I've thoroughly enjoyed this series. I was a bit confused for the first couple of episodes but I'm so glad I persevered. I do sometimes have to watch an episode again to pick up on the details. I get distracted when James does that 'grunt' - it gives me the raging fanny gallops BlushGrin.

wineusuallyhelps · 25/02/2017 20:27

I think I'm not right in the head. I actually quite like him and Zilpha, because it's, well, taboo Blush(disclaimer: only in fiction - if it were real I'd be Hmm).

Wouldn't mind seeing him get it on with Lorna though!!

OneWithTheForce · 25/02/2017 20:27

Is anyone else hoping for a JD tug of war between zilpha and Godfrey? Grin who would win? I think Godfrey has some hidden spirit.

JamesDelaneysHat · 25/02/2017 20:29

Wine, you need to look up some of the fanfiction. That's all I'm saying.

wineusuallyhelps · 25/02/2017 20:31

Ooh hat, I will!

OneWithTheForce · 25/02/2017 20:36

Can you imagine the AIBU thread if this was real?

"My beloved brother has recently returned from some time travelling. We used to be close, but since he has returned he has been nothing but cold and talks only in grunts. My husband is convinced he is after my deceased father's inheritance and wants to kill him! Shock to add to the stress my father had a secret wife who has emerged from the woodwork and is now living with my brother! I just want my brother back and our relationship as it was before. I am beginning to resent my husband for trying to come between us and I know my Step mother is trying to manipulate him to get all the inheritance for herself. What should I do?

Update: I've killed my husband with a hat pin and may drown my step mother. There is also an irritating man with the most beautiful eyelashes who keeps batting them at my brother! Any suggestions?"

Grin

Ooh james, directions to the fan fiction please!

JamesDelaneysHat · 25/02/2017 20:43

If you go on fanfiction.net and archiveofourown and search James Delaney you will be totally thrilled disgusted. I don't recommend it do it

Merlin40 · 25/02/2017 20:45

I agree wine re Zilpha!

I actually don't dislike zilpha. I think JD still loves her. But I want him to get either Lorna - which I think could happen tonight?

TheFullMrexit · 25/02/2017 21:12

Very disappointed if he doesn't get it on with either woman tonight, Godfrey will do as well. No where near enough titlatin. Pol dark had loads. Come on Tom!!

RTKangaMummy · 25/02/2017 21:15

East India and sir Stewart were poisoning his father with arsenic to get the land
