HBO. And here's an update: It had gotten confusing about the time I switched it off the first night, but the second half wasn't really confusing. Well worth watching!
Front-Ranger:
D'oh. The one service I don't subscribe to!

I subscribe to most of the others, but if I had to give up all but one I'd keep HBO. I've watched more good shows on HBO than anywhere else, and it has a lot of movies as well.
My Verizon account now offers a package of HBO and Netflix for $10 a month.
Front-Ranger:
The Times had a piece about Wuthering Heights today, including this excerpt from Emily Bronte's book:
"My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods : time will change it, I?m well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary."
The author, A. O. Scott, goes on to describe rocks as cold, inanimate things. I don't agree! Rocks are alive, but in a different time frame, geologic time. Rocks have a life cycle, they take in and give off energy.
And yes, Kate Moss's version is prominently featured. ;)

Yes, I saw that A.O. Scott piece.
And meanwhile, I've had this song in my head. Do you recognize it?
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
