The Cushing script credits the unaired pilot’s original director, Tom McCarthy, who was later replaced in reshoots by Tim Van Patten. Could Cersei’s burning the feather in the scrapped pilot script have been a hint at something else on the way? This scene is not in the Cushing pilot script or the script previously available online, as io9 points out. In the episode that aired, Cersei objects to Jaime only after she spots Bran inadvertently being a little creep in the window. The Cushing script alone doesn’t reveal exactly why the original pilot was such a “massive problem,” as Mazin put it.
