History: Back in 2009, Game of Thrones shot their pilot. It was reportedly terrible and they almost got cancelled because of it but the showrunners managed to convince HBO to let them fix and reshoot their first episode. That original footage has never seen the light of day.

Different Scenes: It inclueded lots of interesting scenes we never saw and differences from the first episode. A scene of Jon Arryn's death. The white walkers spoke in their own language, Skroth. Cersei burning the feather Robert left at Lyanna's tomb. Jon gets drunk at the Winterfell feast, as in the novels. An actual flashback to the Mad King killing Ned's father and older brother. A scene in the training yard with Bran and Tommen sparring, then Robb and Joffrey. Daenerys jumped over the fire on her silver and her scene with Drogo was not a rape.

Different Actors: The Pilot contained many different performances. A George R.R. Martin cameo. Tamzin Merchant played Daenerys Targaryen. Jennifer Ehle played Catelyn Stark. Ian McNeice played Illyrio Mopatis. Richard Ridings played Gared. Jamie Campbell Bower played Ser Waymar Royce.

It's a lost historical artifact-- we're missing out on a piece of history. Game of Thrones is the most watched show in the world, we deserve to see it from it's roots.

Let's push HBO to release it on the blu-ray for Season 8! Or the collected Box Set!
