I agree with people that aren't particularly attached to the characters. They could even go outside of the source material to flesh out the adult versions of these characters to build that attachment. While the execution has been great, it's hard to be affected by the deaths of characters we hardly knew.
The teenaged versions of the main cast were more likable. The vengeful/jaded adults are less so. Maybe it's because things just don't feel earned because they seem like different charactes altogether? Can't put my finger on it.
Viserys was also by far the best character on the show because there was so much to his character and his plight with the succession. Losing him hurt.

I'm not rooting for anyone in particular, but the deaths are still entertaining and exciting in the sense that anyone could go at any time. What GoT has always done well is to have a revolving cast of characters so that when one dies, another seamlessly fills the plot lines.
