Series

Ooh, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (8 p.m., WB) is good again. First we had professor Walsh as Mommy Frankenstein, now it’s the two-part return of Faith (Eliza Dushku), the bad slayer who Buffy put in a coma last season. Faith is up and around now, and, man, is she pissed off. William Shatner is back as the Big Giant Head on 3rd Rock from the Sun (8 p.m., NBC). Nova (check local listings, PBS) continues “Secrets of Lost Empires” with a team of engineers, architects and historians attempting to re-create the Roman baths. Another Nova follows; this one is about the Lembas of southern Africa, who are convinced they’re one of the lost tribes of Israel. On Will & Grace (9 p.m., NBC), Will and Jack take part in a protest outside “Today” after NBC cuts a gay kissing scene from a sitcom. On Angel (9 p.m., WB), Angel discovers that Kate’s dad is messed up in a demonic plot, but Kate will hear none if it. Party of Five (9 p.m., Fox) has a Very Special Episode that depicts what life had been like for the Salinger sibs if their parents hadn’t died. Jerry Seinfeld provides the voice of an arrogant supercomputer on Dilbert (9:30 p.m., UPN). Alas, even Seinfeld can’t save “Dilbert” from obscurity; UPN is yanking the show off the air as of March 21. Frontline (check local times, PBS) presents “War in Europe, Part 1,” an in-depth look at American involvement in the 1999 bombing campaign against the Serbs in Kosovo. Henry Simmons joins the cast of NYPD Blue (10 p.m., ABC) as Medavoy’s new partner, former hate crimes detective Baldwin Jones.

  • The protests take on a festive element as police forces move out of the park and square. Wearing a gas mask, this young man dances to traditional Turkish music in front of Taksim Square’s Ataturk Monument.

  • In Gezi Park since March 31st, this protester, originally caught off-guard by the Government’s teargas and water cannons, went out and bought a Russian army mask from WWII, preparing for what was to come.

  • This rambunctious boy seems to be enjoying the chaos. After taking this picture he threw a stone at the already destroyed building in the background.

  • Forming a line, the police face off directly with protesters in Taksim Square. After a while, they retreated and there was a general cheer – a back-and-forth dance that has been common since the beginning of this protest.

  • An elderly woman in Gezi Park reads the news. The tent community occupying the park was violently destroyed on June 16th.

  • Many different groups had set up booths to promote their cause in Taksim Square and Gezi Park. Standing in front of one, this man waves his flag while posing with conviction.

  • Many home-remedies are used to minimize the effects of tear gas. This woman has put a milky solution on her face, removing her mask after the tear gas dissipated. Before sunrise, the police came again for another round of teargasing.

  • People capitalize on the uprising -- selling flags, beer, gas masks, sky lanterns and spray paint to name just a few of the popular items.

  • On Monday morning, June 11, the police execute a strong offensive. Many plain-clothed police officers, like the ones seen here, clash with protesters in the side streets away from the main stand-off in Taksim.

  • The authorities seem to be most aggressive in the night, pushing protesters away from the square and park. After being teargassed this young woman catches her breath with other protesters on Siraselviler Street.
