Sarah Connor Chronicles: Overseas and Mobilized
Fox is working hard to make sure that everyone gets to see their new series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (my kingdom for a shorter title!). First they premiered the pilot online for 24 hours, next there will be a fabulous premiere and party at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on Jan. 9 and then the show will have a two night premiere on Fox.
Now the series is reaching out far and wide to connect with even more fans!
In an unprecedented move, Fox and Warner Bros have joined with the American Forces Network to bring Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles to the troops! Normally, our American fighting forces have to wait months to see the latest in US TV, but not this time. The pilot episode of the series will air on AFNprime, Monday, January 14, just hours after the US network premiere of the series. To make this event a real party, AFN will also air all three Terminator movies on either side of the show’s premiere. (The TV series takes place between movies 2 and 3.)
Stateside, Fox and Verizon invite you to Get Terminated! The Chronicles bus will be touring the US from January 9 to January 30 making stops in dozens of cities including New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas, Washington D.C., Phoenix, St. Louis, San Diego and Charlotte. Terminator street teams will distribute branded premium items and invite fans aboard the bus to Get Terminated by filming an action scene opposite a Terminator in front of a green screen. The completed video clip will be sent to the fans email and/or Verizon Wireless phone, where it will then be available to share with friends and family, and to post on social-networking sites like MySpace.
Verizon V CAST subscribers will also have access to specially-produced Chronicles videos, wallpapers and ringtones which can be unlocked using a code word delivered each week on the TV series.
Sounds like the whole world is about to Get Terminated!

I personally thought the pilot was dull as dishwater, but I’m glad the troops will get a chance to see it and enjoy it. It’s hard to believe that some company hasn’t provided free satellite to military bases, for the publicity alone.

I agree with you Liz. It’s not like the troops are on Mars or at the Space Station. Then again, there could be some security issues involved of which we aren’t aware. Who knows.
