8pm NBC - Fear Factor Part 1 of two. A roster of 13 past winners return to compete for $100,000. Dares include taking a dip with alligators.
8pm ANC - Dinotopia. Part 2 of 3. No clue if it's any good, but we're taping it for later viewing pleasure. There's talk that this may become a regular series next year.
9pm WB - Angel. In the second to last ep of the season, this one better be better than last week! His son comes back from another dimension bent on killing his vampire father...then they have a hug fest. BS! "Benediction" - Angel and Connor successfully engage in some much-needed father-son bonding when they find themselves fighting side-by-side. Then foster-father Holtz stirs things up by suggesting Connor should leave him to live with Angel. Meanwhile, Lilah continues to work on recruiting Wesley for the bad guys; and Cordelia's closeness with Angel causes a rift in her relationship with Groosalugg.
9pm USA Stargate - The intriguing premise---ancient code on an artifact called the Stargate opens a gateway to another universe---ultimately crash-lands in familiar shoot 'em up territory.

8pm UPN - Buffy the Vampire Slayer - So, lst week ended when Warren shot both Buffy and Tara. Buff will live (d'uh!) but Tara is beyond even magic.
