I was watching Jeopardy’s “Tournament of Champions” tonight and when Alex introduced the first 6 categories at the start of the show I just laughed at the sheer magnitude of the dork factor:

• Star Trek, Star Wars or Lord of the Rings
• Action Figures
• Dinner for one
• In need of a date
• Still living with “Mom” and “Dad”
• You have no life

The writers must have had a field day!
In honor of this great night for geeks, here are the 5 questions in the first category:

• $200: A council that takes place at Rivendell is central to its plot
• $400: In its lore, a Bagoran wormhole leads to the Gamma Quadrant
• $600: This one lent its name to a defensive weapons system that many felt was a pie-in-the-sky fantasy
• $800: A race called the Andorans causes trouble for the humans in this one
• $1000: Its creator was born in South Africa

If you don’t know the answers, check it out after the jump

• $200: LOTR
• $400: ST
• $600: SW
• $800: ST
