Actually episode 4 being Rook's Rest plus Alan Taylor directing it has been pretty much confirmed including by reliable sources like Redanian Intelligence (sure, they don't have a 100% track record for accuracy and they do get things wrong sometimes but that's RARE, everyone who's been following them either for Witcher stuff or HOTD knows this). Like the other anon had said, some directors and their cinematographers were photographed on set…so it really isn't that hard to deduce who is filming what based on information we already know. And let's be real, Alan Taylor is pretty big and they're not gonna bring him on location to shoot some random scenes with Aemond, Criston and Gwayne that don't belong to a major episode. He was very much directing scenes related to the battle. I know it's very easy to dismiss every piece of information as trolls making stuff up but some of these people DO have inside sources. The thing is no one will be exposing them because some fans on the internet refuse to believe the claims they're making. Yes, there is this notorious troll on Reddit who's been making the same claim that Rook's Rest will be episode 4 since last Autumn but please, it's obvious he accidentally got it right. Other reliable source/leak accounts have been calling him out on his fabricated leaks from the start. They never relied on his "leaked" outline for S2 nor did they ever prop it up as truth. Not wanting to be spoiled, not following leaks/filming news and relying on Condal's words that the season will be paced like the early GOT seasons, that it will focusing on the kids (now adults) and won't be rushing things is totally fine, but pretty much anyone who's been following them knows for sure the fourth episode is indeed RR, the second one is very likely B&C (although the first one seems to be be the actual set-up for the assassination and Daemon will be unsurprisingly behind it), the third one is for sure Jaehaerys' funeral. The main question now, that no one seems to have a definitive answer on, is whether or not the fall of KL is the season finale since the Battle of the Gullet has been pretty surely moved to S3. At this point, denying the obvious and believing the battle of Rook's Rest will be happening later in the season, or will be the season's finale together with Aemond being crowned as Prince Regent, is just cope. I don't like it either, it's too rushed, but I'd rather be honest from the start about how things are looking: not very good.

well......i don't follow the redanian intelligence to form an evaluation of their accuracy rate, though i do vaguely remember some kind of drama i tangentially encountered on twitter by scrolling

i guess that something to keep in mind for these scavenger hunts is also that scenes can be filmed out of order, so they may film a scene from one episode here and after that a scene from another episode with another director etc. i would think it's prioritised by set, too, so for example if scenes from harrenhal appear in several episodes, they're gonna build that set / go to that location and then film all the material there before moving onto another location? so you'd have sightings of several actors/directors filming their episodes in a similar window of time, which wouldn't necessarily speak to the chronology of their episodes

idk bc i've never worked in film or anything of the sort but it would make more sense from a cost perspective. so i suppose that's how things can start getting confusing fast

other than yet, i have no doubt some leakers have inside info, it's just that sometimes it's difficult to parse through the real and the fake. ofc the people truly in the know won't reveal their sources just bc some rando in the comments doesn't believe them, so, at the end of the day, it's only after you see the finished product that you can identify the real ones without the shadow of a doubt

anyway, who is this notorious troll on reddit :)) sounds spicy 🌶️
