Sci-Fi Fantasy Geek Knowledge Test Thread thingy

[phee]

Just an idea that came to me today...

If you know the answers to these questions without looking them up on the internet.... you are probably a sci-fi fantasy geek... (No need to answer the questions in the thread or anything, more just a test for those reading it, and PLEASE FEEL FREE TO KEEP ADDING YOUR OWN QUESTIONS FOR THE REST OF US )

I will start with a few:

Who took out the power regulator on the North tower? (If you know this.... you are probably a sci-fi fantasy geek)

Who is Captain Pike? (If you know this.... you are probably a sci-fi fantasy geek)

What is "The Lightning Field"? (If you know this.... you are probably a sci-fi fantasy geek)

BONUS ROUND
