I think one MAJOR character dying would have made the episode beyond epic, but I think it sets up the upcoming episodes to have a chance to be even better. Otherwise, I think the remaining ones would have a chance to be anticlimactic.
I can't imagine being disappointed overall, as the writers are never going to make everyone happy, and their main job is to make you care about the story and its characters, and they've succeeded in this beyond most stories we've ever seen.
