At this point, the case of the terrible, horrible, very bad original Game of Thrones pilot is well documented. Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have been candid about their expensive misfire, jokingly threatening star Kit Harington that images of it could come to light. Ahead of the shows final season, HuffPost even reported on one of the original pilot scripts available in Texas A&Ms Cushing Memorial Library , going over differences between the script and what aired.

Of course, the episode was saved through reshoots, and the rest was thought to be history. However, were now getting some hilarious new details about HBOs bad pilot, and theyre straight from the horses mouth.
