I find the show's relatively wonky depiction of the Iron Islands to be kind of hilarious (and I don't read the books to have any basis for comparison, for better or worse). The islands appear to be about 1 mile square. There only seems to be like 20 people who live there, and they all appear to be some kind of nobles, but there doesn't appear to be any subjects (or even servants), just 20 dudes (and one woman) yelling at each other. There's like one unfurnished, barely lit room, with a bridge that possibly leads to another unfurnished room, or maybe to that lovely mossy "beach" spot we've seen a couple times. I had to laugh last night when dude was like "STRIP ALL THE TREES AND HAVE YOUR WOMEN SPIN ME ENOUGH SAIL FOR 1000 SHIPS!!"....uhhhh, I know you haven't been here for a while bud, but the only woman that's ever been shown on these tiny islands just sailed away, and Tree Island this ain't.
