Dork Jeopardy

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
  • $1000: LOTR
