For some reason seeing the High Sparrow absolutely lose his shite, dropping F-bombs and whatnot is so awesome. Surely it's from having the previous two years of him as a Septon on Game of Thrones.

Didn't know Fbombs were allowed on FX.


The characters are cussing because of all the fricking commercials.

Show should carry a warning: Watch via DVR only

That said, I find it enjoyable. High Sparrow is awesome in his role. I smell Emmy.

The show is great but this is a must. The commercial breaks aren't long, but they are numerous. I was FFing a lot last night. That said, great show.

So judging by the preview for next week i am starting to see a set up for a half sister / step mother three some Great show though but i really hope he gets that trunk of his father's things so we can possibly progress the witchcraft story line.

I can neither confirm nor deny, but his step mom is trending towards hot status to me. Crazy shite, Brace couldn't handle it mentally.

I see I'm not the only one:

"No, my newfound attachment to “Taboo” can be laid at the feet of a specific character who made a late entry: Lorna Bow."
Don't read if you have not watched Ep 4.

How is it jumping the shark? The story line hasn't wavered any.

Sorry that was a bit of an overreaction. It was a good episode, I just thought the sex scene where the guy didn't finish was a little over the top.

Plus Hardys mumbling talking...

Poor guy...all that poison. Although, I do think it played a part for the story - further showing how completely focused Delaney is in his intentions. Interesting that guy played the East India Co. "heavy" in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

I will say that I thought Delaney was going to freak out during the magic trick (considering his apparent reactions being in the close crowd).

Oh yeah and the scene where she has an orgasm in her sleep and the magic stuff. Was a bit over the top

I still love the show

Was that a disembowelment? They show Delaney with the knife and kind of digging around down there, but the camera never reveals.

Also, I watched Taboo from the DVR right before watching the season finale of Vikings. I asked my wife this morning if she wanted the chemist treatment or the priest treatment when I get home.

They showed him again when the American guy said they saw what he did to him. It almost looked like Delaney had actually propped up his guts to look like a dead tree.

Yea, it was a quick shot but you could see his intestines strewn out of his stomach.
Does James not have any interest in women? It seems this guy could be slaying every woman in London with him being all serious and mysterious genius but he just turns his nose up to all of them. That guy is fricked up. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
Also loud sound and DVR help to decipher what the hell the say sometimes.
