Saying
goodbye is
the worst.
Everything KAVI
inevitably SHEKHAR
comes to an PANDEY
end, but once
you utter that
vile word, you actually have to
accept the fact that it's all over -
be it precious time spent with a
friend or a significant chapter of
your life (one semester of college,
left - taste the sadness). As I bid
farewell with my final column,
here's the story of my struggle
to let go of "Arrested Develop-
ment."
25:17 with every Sam Jackson
inflection when seventh graders
should be thinking of Tarantino
as the guy who made frozen
pizza rolls.
But when it came to televi-
sion, my viewing habits were
stuck in a perpetual state of
adolescence. One could call it
... arrested development. (Hey,
that's the name of the show!) I
still clung onto Chuckie Finster
and Arnold of football-shaped
cranium lore, filling the rest
of my airwaves with Disney
Channel powerhouses "Even
Stevens," "Boy Meets World"
and "Smart Guy," and when
I was feeling especially bold,
the occasional episode of "The
Simpsons."
Because of a friend's recom-
mendation, I started watching

But when I reached the final
four episodes, I couldn't go on.
Finishing those episodes would

the last few episodes of "Twin
Peaks" and the series finale of
"Outsourced" are all waiting
for me to press play. Through
an accidental trick (illusion!),
I've even been able to save part
of "Lost" - I watched through
"The End" but skipped the sea-
son two episode "Collision,"
meaning there's another furious
glare from Sayid, another joke
from Hurley that I've got in my
pocket.
Then came the whopper
last month that Netflix will
be producing new episodes of
"Arrested Development" to put
everything into perspective.
Now would I finish season three
and not watch the new batch? If
there's a movie, doI avoid that
and watch the new episodes?
The steps on this staircar led to
these shows to completion. It's
grim to admit the end of an era,
but clinging to the strands of the
past advances nothing. College
is going to end and I'm going to
have to leave all my friends - so
when I go home for Christmas,
I'll start by saying goodbye
to "Lost," "Outsourced" and
"Arrested Development" (for
now).
If you haven't noticed, this is
my final paragraph asa colum-
nist for The Michigan Daily. I'm
glad you didn't pull a pre-reve-
lation Kavi Shekhar Pandey and
save this piece of impeccable
prose for eternity. Thanks for
reading until the end.
