Andy Ricther Controls the Universe Sighting

Tom Clark has spotted a use of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie from the 2002 FOX sitcom "Andy Ricther Controls the Universe." This was in the pilot episode, where Andy Ricther imagines his friends as superheroes. The Black Ranger is omitted to fit the five. Andy of course is put as the White Ranger. Paget Brewster is put as the Pink Ranger, James Patrick Stuart as Blue, and gender-switching for the other two actors: Irene Molloy as Red and John Salvin as Yellow.

Power Rangers Samurai SPOILERS, Rumors and Speculations

SPOILERS!
Also rumors and speculations, take with a grain of salt. So, remember how fans deduced Paul S. would be reprising his role as Bulk and that Rick Media would return but as Deker?, Well, now fans have discovered a new actress has been hired for Samurai.

Through reading her Twitter, New Zealand actress/presenter Kimberley Crossman is suspected to be the female Red Ranger, who comes around in the final episodes of Shinkenger.
Quote: Sore arms from Samurai fighting today - feel like I'm getting better, thanks to @LeeDonoghue for recommending watching Kill Bill!!

Quote: GOOOOODMORNING !!! another early start today - Time to show off my Samurai skills.....
Quote: So sore already... yikkeesss still all afternoon to go - need to work on my fitness and strength - this sword fighting is killing me!

There is a rumor her character's name is Lauren. Fans are also excited about Hector David (Mike)'s recent tweet on tweeter.

Hector David Jr.'s Tweet:
Quote: Shooting something real special, with the Rangers! Coming Soon! Stay Tuned to Nickelodeon. HDJ ps; Much love today!

Quote: Proud to be a Ranger. Life doesn't get any stranger, From protecting the world from monsters and danger! Gods good to me, and I love people! MAd love -HDJ

Quote: For the people who think that PRSamurai is Done filming, hahhahahahahahahahahaah its only just begin!

Some people think this means a RPM teamup but nothing in the quote indicates this. Dan Ewing (Dillon) is currently filming Home and Away and Rose McIver (Summer) is filming a movie and the others are busy. Including producer Jonathan Tzachor said he didn't consider Ninja Storm through RPM canon so it is unlikely. Elie Dekel did say that they acquired the footage of the Kamen Rider Decade footage so it is possible it is that (prompting some fans to believe Saban is planning to revive Kamen Rider).

Namihei Koshige's Blog
So I have not done anything but not a little thing to write That is why I tried to edit video on the practice atmosphere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rKlbl23Xbk Pawaren shooting the last episode is very exciting show, I can write about that (; ~ Д ~ s The Hee Su s OFF Power Center! But I'm certainly contains elements are Pawarenorijinaru, If you're looking forward to the day to enjoy the view of it!

So he says it is the last episode of Samurai, but Hector says they are still filming, leading people to believe a second season could use Goseiger footage or possibly do like Zyu2 and use make new Samurai footage.

Close-up of the buckle of the Samurai Battlizer, has gotten fans talking that it looks a bit like items from Goseiger, the 2010 Super Sentai that comes after Shinkenger, the source of Power Rangers Samurai. We know that this Battlizer will appear on the show, most likely led from the Black Box. Could Bandai/Saban be planning to use the Goseiger footage for Samurai much like Dairanger was used for Season 2 of MMPR? To me, it looks like a Samurai head, more like the Samurai Megazord. But anything can happen.


GokaiSilver, Legend Robo Series, New OOO combo and More!

I don't know why Denjigreen, VulPanther, Dynared, RedTurbo, BlueSwallow, Ninjawhite, Timegreen, Gaoblue, Boukenblack and Goseipink keys are on the cover.

Legend Series:

Dekaranger Robo, PatStriker and Hurricane Red figure.


MagiKing, EngineOh, Daizyujin and ShinkenOh and T-shirts.


Episode 15 and the 199 heroes movie.

NewType the Live and Hyper Hobby

Info from DecaEnd (translated from the magazine):
After hearing Navi's treasure navigation, the crew heads out and meets the earthling, Gai Ikari. Gai Ikari says that no one loves Super Sentai as much as he does. One day, Gai saved a child from a traffic accident. Only to end up with a serious injury, on the verge of death. Gai arrives at a world that is not exactly a dream or real, there he meets DragonRanger, AbareKiller and TimeFire. They give him the GokaiCellular and the Ranger Keys along with their great power. He wants to join the Gokaigers, but Marvelous won't acknowledge him that easily. Will the Super Sentai loving boy become a Super Sentai!?



From the Timeranger's great powers, he received a time traveling vehicle.


Zyuranger's great powers granted him the dinosaur form.


Rampage was written in katakana as abare, just like how it was in Abaranger. By the great powers of Abaranger, he's able to combine them into the GoJyuJin.

Power Rangers Samurai - Team Spirit - Review

Henshin0 Reviews
Due to personal scheduling conflicts and lines constantly skipping, my review might seem badly done, so I apologize for that in advanced, but please bare with me on this.

Synopsis:

The episode starts off with Emily looking around for the other rangers who seem to be missing. The actuality is that they are sneaking around the Shiba house trying to set up a surprise birthday for her. Mia offers to bake one, but the guys quickly shout "NO!" and save by telling her that "you don't wanna risk it" and Antonio already ordered one from the bakery.
Meanwhile, Octoro warns Dayu about hanging out with Deker while constantly annoying us, the audience with his catch-phrase "ooo-a-ooo". They notice the Sanzu is rising, and the monster, Split-face volunteers to make it go higher.

Elsewhere, Antonio tries to catch a big bass for Emily, and on the way back, he crosses paths with Deker. He mistakes Deker for a shisherman. After being corrected, he offers him lunch and to try his new "baby barracuda" recipe.

Split-face steals peoples' spirits, and splits his body apart and over-powers the rangers and steals Em's spirit. He tells the rangers that the souls will be permanently his in 24-hrs, up to which time, he'll stay in the sanzu river, where no mortal can enter.


While the victims+Emily are in a coma, Antonio tries to use the "Live" symbol to bring clawzord to life. The Sanzu rises higher, while the team tries to figure out how to get the monster to come out. Deker appears, and tells the rangers that a mortal can pass into the sanzu by becoming a Niglock, reveiling that Deker did that once, though he has no memory of it. Antonio tells the rangers to use their sybol powers on clawzord. After putting enough symbol power, the clawzord grows to full size, and Split-face is forced out into the human world. As it turns out, in the earlier battle, Antonio marked one of S-F's parts with a program symbol that not only draws him to the clawzord, but also prevents him from seperating, alowing the rangers to defeat his first life. Sadly, they can't use the megazord to fight the second life without Emily. Antonio then summons clawzord and overpowers S-F until he summons giant moogers. Antonio transforms his zord into claw battlezord east and fight some of them off. then he use west and west fan to protect himself, while the lads summon battlewing to fight off the flying moogers so that he can use south and south katanas to fight S-F and finish him with east claws.
Emily and all of the other victims revived, and celebrated her birthday (with the relief of Mia being "busy" while eating the bakery cake.while the octozord WASN'T stolen by a passerby.


REVIEW:

The episode was pretty nostalogic to episode 20 of shinkenger. It does however, feels weird that Antonio and Deker meet so early on in the translation, but it was just as amusing as Genta and Juzo. I'm not surprised that not only was Emily not in a complete coma, but also in the fact that her sister, Cerina is still alive, because PR always had a history of not killing dead people (save RPM). It was cool how Claw Battlezord uses a compass system, just like Ebi origami. There are particularly two things I didn't like about the episode. One, they didn't have Bulk and Spike again; there are so many ways they could have been in the episode, but weren't. The other is that they didn't have Diend kidnap octozord. In the original episode of Shinkenger, Genta walks out and finds Daiki stealing ikagami calling himself "the passerby kamen rider", leading to the interlude of the crossover of Decade teaming up with shinkengers. Saban bought the footage to the episodes, so why not go with it. I also wonder when they will air the skipped episodes. they did infact film shinkenger episode 1. The commercials on nicktoons even has a brief clip the monster saying Octoroo was hit by an "ugly-stick". Speaking of which, why are Octoroo and Octozord called as such, if they are both squids?
