8. Who doesn't love epic romance?

While we're being all swoony, let's talk about Oliver and Laurel's epic love! They dated before he got stranded on the island, but things went south when Laurel found out that her sister was sleeping with Oliver -- and, oh yeah, died while doing it. Literally. Despite his transgressions, Laurel can't help her feelings for Oliver, and he's spent five years pining for her. All that emotion led to a scene where she caressed his scars and then they kissed while crying. Obviously, they still can't be together, because it's only Season 1, but we're totally 'shipping it. Hard.
