In Defense of… Tristan Milligan

This year I’m planning on doing an “In Defense Of” series in which I choose a Degrassi character who is controversial in the Degrassi fandom and write about why they are a great character. And who better to start with than Tristan Milligan? Tristan is a character who went through a lot during his time on Degrassi. He was always the kind of character that people had very strong feelings about, but since the end of Degrassi: Next Class I personally feel that the fan hatred towards Tristan has only intensified. A lot of people don’t like Tristan because of the way in which he lashes out at other characters. Hopefully this post will help to bring some compassion and understanding to people who feel like they can relate to Tristan.

As a little disclaimer, this post is not meant to shame or criticize anyone who doesn’t like Tristan. We all bring our own experiences and points of view when watching Degrassi, and therefore we all have different interpretations of the characters and storylines. I firmly believe that this is what makes Degrassi so beautiful.

Degrassi Season Finale Episode Summaries

There are only 3 episodes left from season 11, and the exciting 2-part finale is fast approaching! Not much is known about the last 2 episodes (“In a Cold Cold Night Part 1 & 2”) at this point. However these episode summaries seem to reveal that we could be looking at an anti-gay bullying storyline of some sort, and more Eclare drama. Thanks to Kyle at CableTVTalk for this information!

1144 – In the Cold of the Night, Part 1
When anti-gay slurs appear on several lockers, Simpson can’t find the culprit, so the students take matters into their own hands. A conflict between Alli and Eli puts Clare in a difficult position. Fiona embarks on her first-ever job search.

1145 – In the Cold of the Night, Part 2
Simpson institutes a peer mediation program to help resolve recent conflicts, but it gets off to a rough start. Clare is so overwhelmed by relationship, school, and family stress that she develops insomnia. Clare without sleep? This could get messy.

Season 11 Part 1 DVD Details

The first half of season 11 is set to be released on DVD May 29, 2012 by Echo Bridge (US) and Alliance Films Media (Canada), and today we got the first look at the DVD cover art! Featuring small pictures of Dave, Holly J, Adam, Anya, Eli, Sav, Jake and Drew, this is definitely a new look for the Degrassi DVD’s. The price is $19.99 in both countries, but you can pre-order for $14.99 on Amazon. The 2-disc set includes the first 29 episodes of season 11, AKA Degrassi’s summer 2011 season.

The special features are listed as – “Meet the New Kids,” “The Gallery Shoot,” “From Rehearsal to Shooting,” and “Goodbyes,” which I’m guessing are short featurettes. The box-set also includes deleted scenes, a set tour, and bloopers.
