Game of Thrones begins....

[The Larch]

They argued about who was going to win? 

Littlefinger or Varys, and none of them have appeared yet. 

[Grey Fox]

I don't understand. What's the use of the Horse folks if they never cross the sea?

They are the token mud people of the series.

I don't understand. What's the use of the Horse folks if they never cross the sea?

Same as the use of the dragons if they never cross the sea; nothing.  One suspects that the plan is to have both dragons and horse folk cross the sea in future books, though.

I see. I understand the story from a book perspective but other then being true to the books HBO should have left that out.

The show hasn't said they will never cross the sea. Ned Stark fervently hopes they will never cross, and hopes that if they do they will be defeated.

Shocking the amount of Westerocentrism being displayed in this thread.

I wouldn't want to be some dirt-worshipping heathen when the Others cross the wall. :swearengen:

I don't think they can.  I think it is an essential element of the plot.  I suspect that, without the horse folks element of the story, the TV show will have to have a completely different ending than the books, because I think the horse folks are going to be a key element in the final resolution of the story.

Why would the TV show differ from the books on their treatment of the Dothraki? I just don't see where all this argument is coming from.

[Grey Fox]

Because if they don't interact with Westeros, who gives a shit?

That's my argument.

[Tamas]

That's my argument.

Have you read the books?

Have you read the books?

Nope. Just some wiki articles.

Then why don't you wait to see what happens?
