This may be the only apology "Game of Thrones" fans will ever get from the notoriously bloody and unrepentant show. Producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff appeared in a video on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday night to say they were sorry -- but not for what you think.
Weiss and Benioff aren't sorry for killing off a certain main character who's now the world's saddest doorstop.
"We kill off a lot of main characters," said Benioff, while sitting on a couch sprinkled with cash.
"We've killed 739 main characters so far," agreed Weiss.
No, instead they're sorry for introducing a certain kind of embarrassing behavior that's sure to crop up in the future when a "Thrones" fan wants to ask someone to hold a door open for them:" Hodor!" (Hold the door.) Yeah, that.
"We forgot how annoying people can be," said Weiss. "That's our bad."
