The Game of Thrones bosses are taking it upon themselves to apologize for Sunday’s heartbreaking episode, but not for what you’d think.

“We’d like to apologize for Sunday’s episode,” Weiss opened the apology.
“Not for killing Hodor -- we kill a lot of main characters,” Benioff continued, before Weiss reminded everyone that they’ve killed off exactly 739 characters over the course of six seasons.
“We’re sorry for all the idiots who, from now on will be shouting ‘Hodor!’ every time you go through a door,” Benioff said, referencing the act in which Hodor perished -- holding a door to keep a group of Wights away.
