Sci-Fi Adventures Awards - Season 6 (2021-22)

I think it's about the right time for Ray Hardgrit's Sci-Fi Adventures Awards Season 6! I watched a lot of science fiction between April 2021 and March 2022 and now I'm going to celebrate the highs and say harsh things about the lows.

First though I should let you know that this is probably the last time I do one of these articles. My memory's just not good enough to do them justice, especially considering the amount of episodes I cover in a year. I mean everything in this list is in with a chance to win something here:

• Babylon 5 4-16 - The Exercise of Vital Powers to 5-11 - Phoenix Rising
  
• Babylon 5 - In the Beginning
• Cowboy Bebop 01 - Asteroid Blues
• Cowboy Bebop 2021
  
• Doctor Who series 13 - Flux
  
• Doctor Who - Eve of the Daleks
  
• Farscape 1-01 - Premier
  
• Firefly 1-01 - Serenity
• Outlaw Star 01 - Outlaw World to 04 - When the Hot Ice Melts
  
• Red Dwarf 1-01 - The End
• Star Trek 1-01 - The Man Trap
  
• Star Trek: The Next Generation 1-01 - Encounter at Farpoint
• Star Trek: Voyager 1-01 - Caretaker
• Star Trek: Enterprise 1-01 - Broken Bow
  
• Star Trek: Discovery season 3
• Star Trek: Lower Decks season 1
• Star Wars: The Mandalorian season 2

You can see why I don't want to do these anymore. There's 77 episodes and a movie in that list! 3000 minutes of science fiction from 15 different series! (Assuming I haven't accidentally left something out.) That's a lot of SPOILERS, so study the list carefully before reading further or else you might learn something about one of these stories you didn't want to know.

Sci-Fi Adventures Awards - Season 5 (2020-21)

It's finally time for the Ray Hardgrit's Sci-Fi Adventures Awards Season 5! This is the time of the year where I highlight the things I personally thought was really good and incredibly bad about the things I've covered over the last 12 months.

Everything I've reviewed from April 2020 to January 2021 is in with a chance to win something, even if it was really terrible! In fact I should be giving more awards to the terrible episodes because 2020 was truly their time to shine. Here's what's in the running this year:

• Babylon 5 3-16 - War Without End to 4-15 - No Surrender, No Retreat
• Star Trek: Picard season 1
• The Mandalorian season 1
• Doctor Who series 12 + Revolution of the Daleks
  
• Short Treks season 2
• Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century

That's 56 episodes and a Looney Tunes short.

This is going to be a horrific test of memory for me, as I have to somehow recall 2000 minutes of science fiction I watched over a span of 365 days. But it'll be even more horrific for you if you end up running into SPOILERS you really didn't want to see, so if you'd have a problem with me giving away every major plot twist from these episodes you should probably stop reading now.

I know I'm pretty much limiting my audience here to people who have watched all the same things I have, or don't care about spoilers, but hey this article is just bonus content for you really.

Sci-Fi Adventures Awards - Season Four (2019-20)

Surprise, it's the Ray Hardgrit's Sci-Fi Adventures Awards 2019 Season Four!

You might be thinking that I'm a month late with this, seeing as most people agree that 2019 ended a while back, but it occurred to me that I'm not judging the last year of sci-fi when I do my awards, I'm judging the sci-fi I've reviewed over the last year of my site. I start publishing reviews in April and finish in January, so the awards post should logically come at the end of January.

Plus I'm actually 13 months late, as I skipped the awards for 2018. I watched more than 600 episodes of Doctor Who over that summer (in addition to everything else I reviewed), and when it came time to think back over them all and hand out some awards my brain put up a little white flag and surrendered.

It seems like this year it should be a landslide in favour of Babylon 5, seeing as it's what I've been writing about each week (from season 2's Knives up to season 3's Walkabout), but I also threw in a few other reviews along the way. Like all of Discovery and The Orville's second seasons, the first four Short Trek's, Deep Space Nine's Rivals and the the first episode of Picard. I watched a pair of movies as well: Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Trek Into Darkness! Spoiler: the one that doesn't win Best Movie is going to win Worst Movie.

There's going to be lots of SPOILERS in fact, because that's sadly inevitable when you're giving out awards for 'Best death' and 'Most shocking twist'. No Picard spoilers though, as it's a bit too new. Plus I should remind you that all winners have been chosen by me, without a whole lot of thought, for purely subjective reasons, and shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

Sci-Fi Adventures Awards 2017

This kind of worked last year so I'm doing it again. It's the second annual Ray Hardgrit's Sci-Fi Adventures Awards!

Though this time there's some brand new categories, more TV series in the running, and less screwing around with javascript because I got all that working already. I've even spelt the text in the banner correctly so I don't have to sneakily edit it.

But the categories are still dumb, the winners are all still chosen by me for purely subjective reasons, and I'm only including things I've written about during the previous 12 months... for the most part. I'm not going to deliberately try to ruin movies or episodes for you, but there will be some SPOILERS around due to the fact that I'm giving out awards for their content, so there'll be descriptions of things and images that pop up when you click to reveal the winner. There are limits to how vague I can be I'm afraid.

Sci-Fi Adventures Awards 2016

Over the past 9 months of Sci-Fi Adventures I've reviewed 46 episodes of television, 10 movies and a teaser trailer, and now that we've reached the end of the year it seems like a good time for me to look back and try to remember something, anything about them. It's lucky I've written all these words about them really or else I'd have no chance.

In fact I'm giving out awards, for as many categories as I can think of! Though all winners will be chosen by me without much deliberation for purely subjective reasons and therefore you should probably just ignore them all.

I should mention that those episodes were all from season 1 Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5, and series 9 Doctor Who. I also reviewed Doom, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Aliens and a whole lot of Star Trek movies. This is important information, because as much as I'm trying to minimise SPOILERS, I'm sure I'm going to end up letting slip something about these stories someone might have preferred not to learn from the internet.
