I think the people pining for negative consequences to actions will get their wish when the decimated alliance armies sans 1-2 dragons march south. With a bonus of Jaime and Tyrion now moving against a pissed off double crossed Cersei and Bronn. There's three 1.5 hour long episodes left so lots of time for death and despair.

I also think a lot of the claims about plot armour are a bit misplaced. Jorah and Theon were two major characters that have been in the show since episode 1. I think maybe because they weren't as popular people don't count their deaths as substantial but Jorah alone probably has almost as many lines and screen time as The Hound, Brienne, and Podrick combined.
