The talk pages are purposely not linked to. The main reason is in current form they render terrible on mobile: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lettuce
You can however get to them via search/watchlist/links on wiki.
Many people have never experienced talk before, various user tests we have run for both mobile and Winter show most people are surprised that they can talk about articles. For this reason we're keen to give them a good first experience. Throwing them on a page with lots and lots of template is a sure fire way to put any new potential editors off them for like.
We will need some help from template maintainers to improve that (any volunteers?! :)) as in current form you have to scroll __a lot__ to get to the talk content itself
You can enable some experiments with trying to make talk available on mobile in the beta [1] version of the site.

One thing I've noticed about the mobile site, and that I see is being discussed in various places, is that there's no obvious way to get to article talk pages. Am I just missing it?

The DJ where are you seeing this exception being thrown? I had thought that the desktop skin forced the mobile target to avoid these issues but maybe I am wrong...

I do note that due to the mobile vs desktop targets of resource loader behavior, the desktop site seems to have a few problems when using minerva. I get "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: importScript global code (index.php, line 14)" when I used the "useskin=minerva" approach.

I forgot to add if we set $wgMFEnableMinervaBetaFeature = true it also registers it as a beta feature. Another option at our disposal...

Only because of a single line of code. We can surface it in Special:Preferences easily but I suspect we'll want to fix some of the caveats first... we just have to remove the code here [1]

Yeah but that's not persistent across views right?
Tomasz: thanks for the tip. I'll give it a spin. ;)
