'Andor' vs. 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' and 'Severance' for Best Science Fiction Television Series at the Saturn Awards


I told my readers to "stay tuned for this year's version of Star Trek vs. Star Wars at the Saturn Awards as I examine the nominees for Best Science Fiction Television Series" twice, so I'm following through with the nominees in this category.
Best Science Fiction Television Series:

Andor
The Ark
Foundation
Severance
Silo
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
As Deadline Hollywood reported, Andor leads this category with five nominations, followed by Star Trek: Strange New Worlds with four, Severance with three, and The Ark, Foundation, and Silo with just this one. Both Andor and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds are previous Saturn Award winners, the former Best New Genre Television Series in 2024 and the latter Best Science Fiction Television Series in 2022, making both fan choices. Andor would also be a professional choice, as it earned five Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series. Of course, the real professional choice is Severance, which won eight Emmy Awards this season, so I voted for it. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it wins; I think Andor and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds are more likely to take home the trophy of the planet with film for its rings.

There are two more categories with Star Wars nominees. I'll get to them after horror and fantasy. Stay tuned.
