LOS ANGELES, May 26 — If you haven’t watched last Sunday’s episode of Game Of Thrones, you might want to stop reading here as the next paragraph will contain spoilers for Episode 5 titled “The Door”.

Executive producers of GoT, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, appeared in a special segment during yesterday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live to apologise for the Hodor death scene which may have had some unintended consequences.

“We’d like to apologise for Sunday’s episode,” Weiss said. “Not for killing Hodor — we kill a lot of main characters... We’re sorry for all the idiots that, from now on, will be shouting ‘Hodor!’ every time you go through a door,” added Benioff.

Just to remind you, “Hodor” = “Hold The Door”. Fans quickly took to social media to mourn the death of Hodor and “hold the door” memes were trending all over social media.

“We forgot how annoying people can be — that’s our bad.”

“We should’ve seen that coming,” added Benioff with a sigh.

Benioff and Weiss made no apologies for killing off Hodo though: “We kill a lot of main characters. We’ve killed 739 main characters so far.”
