Notice I didn't say good/bad I said favorite. Ned was a favorite, Aryia and Tyrion are favorites of mine. I made the comparison to the Wire quite intentionally as there to you have lots and lots of grey (my two favorite characters are probably a viglante and a drug kingpin). I'm just not sure I want something this dark from my fantasy, where as you point out Martin goes against type by allowing anything to happen to any character. To me I guess my long term commitment to the show is less dependent on whether I feel connected to the characters, I certainly do, but whether the show gives me enough to think about to be alright with what they do to my favorites.
