The What Else Sucks Podcast #018 - Taboo FX Episode 5 - Some Dueling, Some Chemistry, and Some 19th Century Subterfuge! The Latest Episode of Taboo Begins Turning Some Big Plot Wheels

What Else Sucks?

Heads up, there are some spoilers for Taboo in this post and in the episode. ​ This week's episode of Taboo on FX started big with some dueling action and then slowed down to get some serious expositional elements going and it's looking like a pretty wild ramp up for the last 3 episodes of season 1. In today's What Else Sucks podcast, we get some coverage on the duel (0:34), discuss some predictions that seem to have been confirmed (7:45), the possibilities for James' purported son and their relationship (8:50), touching base on the over/under on botched murder attempts on James Delaney (10:10), what Lorna's angle might be in all of this (12:04), Scott's prediction for Brace's pistol usage (13:06), the Crown opening a case against Jonathan Pryce's Sir Stuart Strange - sure to bring some great standoffs (13:38), how much Horace Delaney knew about Nootka's importance (18:33), another tangent regarding AMC's "Better Call Saul" - only season 1 available to stream on Netflix for now (21:42), Brandon has rightful reservations regarding the shit/piss gunpowder being made (23:25), and we solicit any of our listeners to make us a Wikipedia page (28:06).
