I disagree completely. It made pretty clear that bringing some back is a pretty complex thing and the possibility is limited to very few (looks like just followers of the red god). First you have Berric Dondarian brought back 6 or 7 times by the Thoros of Myr (red priest). The whole point of him coming back (from a story telling point) is the lay groundwork that is possible in this world. Its also made clear that there is a cost. Each time he came back, he was "less". That leads to Lady Stoneheart, and she only came back because the above mentioned Berric Dondarian gave his life (may ilves) to help make it happen, so there's some cost there.
For the show, the whole Berric Dondarian thing is to let the viewer know that this is possible. Otherwise, the first time red priest(ess) did that spell, it would have been with Jon Snow. Everyone would have cried foul then.
Khal Drogo came back a totally different way from the red priest way of doing it in that he never actually came back. The Witch who did that, did it to curse Danerys and it was a trick. She held up here end of the so called bargain by breathing air into Drogo but he was only technically alive, but in return, she killed Danerys' unborn child and also made her barren. Once Danny discovered this, she not only smothered Drogo, but burned the witch alive.
The detail, difficulty, and cost of doing this kind of thing is what keeps it from being cheap.
