Game of Thrones ’ original pilotis infamous — one of the most secretive buffer in late TV chronicle , spoken of in quiet down whispers . Apparently , it wasfar , far from the qualityof the first installment of Thrones we actually saw , thanks to aradical reshoot overhauland some large mould alteration . But the only reasonableness that reverse bechance was the show ’s carbon monoxide - Creator include they ’d messed up .
This was revealed inEntertainment Weekly ’s excerpt from James Hibberd ’s upcoming tell - all story about the making of Thrones , titled Fire Can not toss off a Dragon , in which the cast and crew look back on the show ’s earliest , still unobserved origins .

There ’s a flock of fun little anecdotes — quite a few about various states of hairstyles in the pilot , and George R.R. Martin himself has a killer one about some unfortunate horse office in the original scenes between Dany and Khal Drogo . But the most interesting choice morsel of all is the moment HBO , D.B. Weiss , and David Benioff had their , as former HBO programming president Michael Lombardo place it , “ come to Jesus ” minute to take a step back and reflect that the pilot burner as it subsist was not work .
What saved it , ostensibly , was Weiss and Benioff admitting that as much as HBO ’s administrator knew it . “ We ’d done a lot of soul search . The one affair I conceive we did right field is we have all the mistakes , ” Weiss says in the excerpt . “ We did n’t item fingers . We said : ‘ We do it this is n’t good , and here is what go incorrectly and how we would do it differently the next sentence . ’ We just go away down the line . I think they got the sensation , which was fair , that we were n’t come in trying to explain why the bugs were feature of speech . We were all on the same page that where we want to be is many levels up from this . ”
It ’s mostly interesting because , while the reflexion was rewarded with a serial order and , after reshooting , an orifice episode that turned Game of Thrones into an almost - overnight cultural sensation , it ’s … a lesson that seems tohave been increasingly forgottenas the show progressed .
