A Bot Wrote a 'Scrubs' Episode Good Enough for Zach Braff to Call for a Reunion
Bill Lawrence's Scrubs was a hit with the fans when it was on the air from 2001 to 2010. A comedy with a heart, the show had the unique ability to make you laugh out loud and cry all within the same episode. Whether it was J.D.'s daydreaming, Dr. Cox's ranting or the Janitor's utter nonsense, there was a charm to each and every character, and their interactions made for an entertaining show. It's hard to believe that it's been eight years since J.D. walked out of Sacred Heart Hospital for the last time (let's pretend Season 9 didn't happen, okay?).

4 Actors Who Would Have Been Perfect As Light Yagami in a North American Version of “Death Note”
#DeathNote revolves around the tragic fate, rise and fall, of #LightYagami, a young man in his late teens who happened to chance upon a special notebook with the power to kill; with just a few words, a face in mind, and a name, Light uses the notebook, or the shinigamis’ “death note,” to abruptly change the world order, by eliminating all existing criminal elements in societies worldwide at his sole discretion, and wiping out everyone else—guilty or innocent—who have chosen to stand against him with absolute impunity, thereby effectively forcing his personal brand of justice on the world and elevating himself to something akin to the level of a mortal God.

The 5 Biggest Unanswered Questions Left In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
Being a huge Marvel fan — of both the comics and the cinematic universe — I love knowing all of the details and idiosyncrasies of the characters and storylines that have been brought to us over the years. When it comes to the films in the MCU, there are many unresolved questions that fans still have, but these five queries are the ones that bother me the most and that have yet to be answered. I'm sure that in the next few movies some of these will be figured out (and more questions will be added to the list), but let's just take a peek into these ones and see if you have any theories or guesses as to their answers.

5 Major Stories Fans Want in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

As we wait with anticipation for these iconic stories to come to the big screen, let's take a look at some other major storylines that could hit us by Phase 4 and beyond (with the current movie rights Marvel has to their characters).

DC v. DC: Why Has WB Created Two Universes?
When The Avengers came out in 2012, it was clear that DC had quite a ways to catch up when it came to assembling their own team in a cinematic Justice League. With Man of Steel coming out the following year, I was intrigued to see what they would do.

Could THAT Villain Be in Spider-Man: Homecoming?
There are already a ton of rumors surrounding Spider-Man: Homecoming, including Michael Keaton being eyed for the role of Vulture. As much as I can imagine that being a great choice, I was hoping we wouldn't see another guy with mechanical wings (a la Falcon). Those of you that are following me know how much I love speculating on future villains for the MCU and Spider-man, so how could I pass up another opportunity?

9 Characters You Forgot Are in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Dr. Leonard Samson In the comics: After creating a cathexis ray projector that would drain off gamma particle and psionic energy from Bruce Banner into a cure for Betty, most of that psionic and gamma energy that was drained from Banner stayed within the ray projector. Overcome with curiosity, and perhaps a desire to gain superhuman powers himself, Samson irradiated himself with those energies within the projector, resulting in the slim, brown-haired psychiatrist being transformed into a green-haired, muscle-laden superhuman with gamma-boosted strength.

Who Is Skurge The Executioner In Marvel's 'Thor: Ragnarok'?
In Marvel's upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, the third Thor movie but the first which looks like a genuinely great Marvel film, the Asgardian loses his hammer, fights Hulk in space, searches for Odin and faces off with the terrifying Hela, Goddess of Death. It looks like an adventure of truly apocalyptic proportions ("Ragnarok" is absolute destruction, after all) with potentially major consequences for the rest of the #MCU and the forthcoming Avengers: Infinity War.

Namor: 4 Ways The Sub-Mariner Could Join The MCU
A few weeks ago, I shared how Namor could already be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If rumors are to be believed, it seems that this is even more of a possibility. According to Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada, Namor the Sub-Mariner is making his way back home to Marvel Studios. With Namor’s TV and film rights previously belonging to Universal, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has called this character's situation “complicated." That's putting it lightly, Mr. Feige. So, whether you chose to believe this rumor or not, there are considerable ways to tie #Namor to what is currently happening in the #MCU. But first, let's get to know the Sub-Mariner, starting with his last onscreen appearance in 1966:
