- Courtesy of the Licensing Show, we now have official confirmation that the originally-skipped "Origins" episode of Samurai will air on Nickelodeon this September. Those lucky enough to attend San Diego Comic-Con in a month can see it there first, though.
- Speaking of Samurai, according to Tweets by Erika Fong, Brittany Pirtle, Kimberly Crossman, Hector David Jr., and Steven Skyler, filming for the season wrapped about two weeks ago. (PS: If you're wondering who Kimberly Crossman is, we're not telling. Spoilers.)
- Power Rangers on Netflix is now running free of errors, for those of you who were still waiting for the ability to watch all the episodes on apps or video game consoles.
- Power Rangers has been banned in New Zealand practically since its inception... until this past Monday.
