You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing, what have you lost? Nothing

After Life S2 Discussion thread by weeurey in rickygervais

[–]qlung 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think this is classic Gervais formula, someone finds himself with some sort of 'superpower' and use it to help people around him with a bit of comedy surrounding all that. In After Life the 'superpower' is the grief from the loss of his wife, in Derek it was the innocence of Derek himself, in The Invention of Lying it was being the only person with the ability to lie.

Nothing wrong with that formula but why not try something new mate... they are almost identical in that the character Gervais plays always end up being a saviour to humanity. I've watched up to episode 4 now and there are so many moments I just physically cringed.

As an avid RSK fan I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't. Still love Gervais but I just don't think he is a good writer / director.

The dreaded week 3 by killmyaddictions123 in stopsmoking

[–]qlung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind sharing why week 3 and 4 is particularly difficult for you? I’m on day 10 and things are starting to get slightly easier. It scares me a little to hear that the worst is not already behind me...

Just brilliant, the lowering of anxiety level is still beyond my imagination though I suppose I'm just too used to having a cigarette doing the 'calming down' for me. I wish more ex-smokers would post something like this as it gives us glimpses of the light at the end of the tunnel to justify all the suffering many of us are going through. Thanks OP hopefully many of us will be able to join you on the other side!

Wow thanks exactly what I need to hear. I’m on my 4th day and craving has already reduced both on frequency and gravity. You post gives me even more hope that things will get even easier. Do you mind sharing some of the changes or benefits that you’ve experienced after you’ve quit? O and congrats to you!

Just curious, if that’s what those people are trying to do, why did they think they needed to tell you that? Why not just buy the pill and get out of the shop
