I didn't get that bit about bringing back Stannis. Did not get it at all. I'm hoping it will explain it self later on.

EDIT: You warned me to avoid Wikipedia but I had to take a look to find out a bit of background and now I've come across a massive spoiler.

Spoiler:

WTF Joffery is murdered? I liked him.

No Thoros brought back Beric (the guy who fought the hound and lost but came back to life again) The thing about Stannis being that Messiah reborn was a vision Melisandre had. There's a story about who that Messiah was in the book, here's a shortened version :

Azor Ahai was a legendary hero who lived approximately eight thousand years before Aegon's Landing. It is said that during the midst of The Long Night, Azor Ahai rose up and defeated the Others, wielding a sword of fire, called Lightbringer. Some readers believe that Azor Ahai is the same hero as the prince that was promised, while others believe that they come from two distinct prophecies. Azor Ahai and the prince that was promised have this far never been mentioned in the same sentence.

lol you shouldn't google

but...

Spoiler:

ew, how can you like that little s**t?!
