Enjoyed this episode a lot, Caleb gets a lot of time to shine and this is easily one of the best episodes for his character. It's dark, it's unsettling, and quite simply it's an extremely captivating hour of television. A really strong entry for Westworld Season 4, and the ending left me appreciating the whole thing even more.

To keep it short, if you've not started to watch season 4 based off your feelings for season 3, put those feelings behind you and come experience some of the best Westworld to date. This season has been much darker, this episode encapsulates that perfectly, especially with its beautifully dark, ethereal soundtrack, "Fidelity" shows us some of the most disturbing storytelling we've ever gotten from Westworld, reminding me a lot of season 2's James Delos storyline.

A great episode of a show is one where you don't want it to end and this episode was just that. This weeks installment continues an amazingly strong string of episodes that really gets you engaged and invested into the story. Finish up the season strong Westworld !

It's hard to comprehend & even articulate (without unintentionally understating) just how incredible this season of Westworld has become, meticulously improving upon the frustratingly inconsistent quality of S3 to the point where S4's potentially surpassed even S1 (if the calibre of writing is somehow maintained to the end) in terms of the writing.

For yet another impressive week, audiences have been generously gifted with a beautifully crafted, ingenious, philosophical exploration of both character & themes of consciousness (a sci-fi masterpiece) that pushes the storytelling to its creative limits, subverting expectations by intricately plotting the journey in a fascinating direction - until we're left trying to process the sheer complexity of what we've just watched, which shapes our perception of the series in an ever evolving, always new & exciting way. For a show to be in its 4th season & still finding inventive, groundbreaking methods of challenging viewers - so profoundly? What a phenomenal accomplishment. One of the best episodes yet. I'm astonished by its faultlessness.

Without saying too much I am totally impressed the way they wrote the storyline. Mixing the timelines in a way that I couldn't understand (like s2) but revealing it step by step that I could comprehend and enjoy.

It is a huge comeback after the horrible S3 which totally disrespected the foundation of it.

I keep telling my friends that if Season 4 keeps up the quality until the end, they'll have to come back to the show, while worrying that they'll mess up. I've been saying this since episode 3, but since then it just keeps on giving. It's really hard to put into words what I feel about this season so far - the pacing is great, the reveals feel meticulously planned to keep us at the edge of our seats while being organic and authentic. This episode was fantastic, balancing darkness and hope, artificialness and humanity on a tightrope. Similarly thought provoking and emotionally engaging to the previous episodes, but like what I've said in the beginning, it feels like they keep topping themselves with every episode. It feels like it can't get any better than this, but I've said the same thing last week and the week before that...

This is art.

I (mostly) take back what I said last episode! Even though the last one was amazing, it ironically showed a depressing struggle of absolute existentialism in which the show is devoid of anyone to root and care for (at what point is it even worth watching when the world is depressing, and all controlled by robots anyway?).

In this one, Maeve and C showed the way forward; it follows up sublimely with the eradicate beauty of human sides. And yes, the comeback keeps getting better. It's amazing how the writers are raising the bar back up after the hole they dug in season 3. Awesome!!

A Stellar Performance of Thessa Thompson and Aaron Paul and the entire Team. I enjoyed every season, absolutely including S3. Live Die Repeat, WWS4. E6...

I didn't think Westworld could top its first and second season. I believe it just did.

The last 3 episodes have been outstanding. Tessa Thompson, Thandiwe Newton and Aaron Paul are doing a perfect and i mean PERFECT job in these episodes. Evan Rachel Wood as well but has not been utilized as much so far. I hope she has more screen time these last couple of episodes.

Too predictable, No epic, No music.

Formal seasons intermediate episodes had new technologies and metaphysical questions ; we just get on the skin and don't seek deeper here, which make last couple episodes very average for what we were used to.

Still hope for Ecstasy of Gold in the two remaining episodes, for now I'm just hungry !!

All themes in the show have been use before countless times. The show is quite generic.

After two seasons I still not see what is so especial about Caleb. He is a glorified sidekick. He just follow other guys around. He is just there to create conversations and to explain us the audience what's going on. For two seasons the show tried to give him some importance but he is absolutely unimportant for the main plot.

I am really enjoying this season. I don't understand the haters out there. Too confusing for some minds I guess. This episode was captivating, sentimental, violent, smart, and suspenseful all at once. The whole Westworld team is definitely out to make an unforgettable season and hopefully many more to come!

Aaron Paul's acting here is simply just masterclass and the premise is terrifying. It also works well as a standalone, black mirror-ish episode. It should be rated way higher.

Episode 6 of Westworld Season 4 starts with us in the city of nightmares, with Outliers on the run and attempting to escape the Hosts. Jay is the latest in a line of rebels that have been saved, and he's taken to a safehouse, away from the Tower. Among those leading the charge are Frankie and her mother, reinforcing the theory that "C" in Bernard's vision is Frankie. The C could stand for Caleb. Bernard and C dig up their "weapon" , which is Maeve. They take her to the remnants of the city and remain determined to bring her back to end this ongoing war.

Inside, Bernard leads C through the inner-workings of the city, finding a lab. They need to replace Maeve's control unit, and fix her up too. Interestingly, we also learn here that hats are used to collect data. The tech is slow and primitive by "today's standard" but this soon changed when those in Westworld chose to use mirrors. Their idea was to play on humanity's vanity; another Charlotte Hale invention. As for Caleb, he makes it onto the roof and records a message for Frankie. He promises that she's going to win because she's stronger than him and the world Charlotte has made is real. He apologizes for failing and calls her his warrior. "I love you," Caleb signs off. Of course, we then get confirmation that C is Caleb's daughter, Frankie. However, Maeve awakens too and kills J before he can continue his murderous rampage. C is convinced that Caleb is alive and decide to head out and find him. As for Charlotte, she burns all remnants of Caleb and rebuilds him in her own image, turning him into a Host she can control. I don't want to say Westworld has run out steam this season, because there are glimmers of a great story here, but this episode doesn't really have all that much going on. Sure, we get the Bernard plotline and more details about C, whom we finally learn for sure is Caleb's daughter, but we also get that long escape run with Caleb which feels drawn out and stretched to the end of the episode. The whole idea of the resistance group and one among them being a mole is certainly tense, but that dissipates when you realize we don't actually know a whole lot about these characters. When the "turn" does happen with J, it doesn't quite have the same gravitas it may have had. However, the visuals and the pacing are both excellent this time around again, but with two episodes left it's unclear exactly where this one is going in the future. Let's hope the season rounds out with a bombastic couple of episodes!

This episode seems like pure filler. I think the further Westworld moves away from the Michael Chrichton film's premise, the amusement park full of robots, the weaker the story is. The previous episodes had some compelling stuff and Ed Harris had some interesting scenes to play. Here we have Caleb suffering for an entire episode. I agree with the other reviewers who said Caleb is a boring character, despite Aaron Paul's acting, the writers don't make him into an interesting character. The show runners must have been too busy making Prime Video TV shows. I do keep watching because I love Ed Harris & Thandie Newton's performance. Tessa Thompson is also great fun, the dominatrix torturing the human race. WTF happened to Evan Rachel Wood's storyline? She's totally wasted this season.

Or written by people associated with this show. Slick production /sets but confusing plot line and it sure seems repetitive. We get it an evil controller and those robots wanting to be free...

I have no idea what others consider quality. The production is fine, but the story is completely uninteresting! I can barely watch anymore. Seasons 1-3 are great, so it's not like I didn't make it this far.
