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.
