THE MULDER AWARDS of 2012

As always, the GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS last week didn’t give all the credit where credit was due. The problem I have is that almost any sci-fi or horror show hardly gets any attention from the so-called Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The only two genre on TV are not Drama and Comedy. My biggest grievance of all time is still the shrug they gave to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. But that’s an angry post for another day.

So instead of bowing down to these Hollywood Elitists, I thought I might make my own Awards – THE MULDER AWARDS – in honor of one of the best TV characters of Science Fiction, Fox Mulder of The X-Files. I’ve pick from all the Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror TV shows of 2011, whether they be new or returning. Even the cancelled shows were included. So without further delay, let’s see if Geek Soul Brother’s choices match up to what you would have picked. I would love to hear where you agree and disagree with me. I won’t Wince if you shout expletives and shake a threatening fist at your computer screens because of what I chose and omitted. I will confess that I haven’t seen every episode of every series (especially Trueblood), so tell me where you think I went horribly wrong. Geek brothers and sisters, I give you THE MULDER AWARDS.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Richard Dean Anderson - Stargate SG-1 – After he was the best bomb tech in the world as MacGyver, Anderson played Col. Jack O’Neal, leader of Stargate SG-1, a team whose mission was to explore the network of stargates in the galaxy. Dean’s character was a mixture of levity and lethal military skill. Anderson not only starred in Stargate SG-1 for most of the 10 years the show was on, but was a guest in the spin-offs, including Stargate Universe. Anderson has been a foundation on the SYFY channel, and has made a real mark in television’s science fiction genre.

So there are my choices for 2011. Whether your comments cheer me or question my sanity, I would love to hear from you guys.

It’s refreshing to see a list of awards that doesn’t make me furious at society in general. Granted, it looks like we disagree on Game of Thrones vs. Fringe (I would have had a GoT sweep), but that’s besides the point.

That close shave still gets me all emotional…

  Glad you appreciate the list Adam. I 100% see why you, and most of geekdom, would choose Game of Thrones. It had better acting and was a bigger production for the most part. And not to try to change your mind, but just letting you know where I’m coming from; I think Fringe did a better job at being a Science Fiction than Game of Thrones did at being a fantasy. Of course it’s because Fringe is in its 4th season and Game is just getting started. I’m sure things will switch this year.
  
  One OMG moment that I didn’t include in the list was in Fringe, when Walter was about to give himself a Lobotomy. That had me even more ‘emotional’ then Stark’s last moments, which tugged at the heart strings too.
