Summary

Yes, Westworld S04E06 "Fidelity" contains a ridiculous action scene, but it importantly recontextualizes some of the strange things we saw in previous episodes and serves up plenty of other scenes of interest that more than make this a good episode of Westworld.

0:30.0	Welcome to Watching Westworld, the officially unofficial podcast for Westworld on HBO, I'm Jim.
0:35.0	I'm Aaron.
0:36.0	And today we're talking season 4, episode 6, Fidelity, Aaron, after second, third, fourth.
0:44.0	I don't know, fifth watch? How many times you watch this thing? What do you think of it?
0:48.0	278 times. And I finally am all the way down and I'm looking up and I see the devil looking down at me and it's Aaron Paul with his face all scratched up.

1:19.0	I notice even more stuff.
1:21.0	Once I got out of the actual grip of the first watch, I don't know that that scene between Cookie and Jay makes a lick of sense in context of a Frankie's history with the hosts.

2:23.0	You might I mean and it leans way far like like half the time in Legion whenever there's a big battle about the take place.
2:31.0	It would turn into like a fucking dance off of some shit where it's like the show's intentionally saying this none of the actual action matters.

2:50.0	Yeah.
