So it sounds like Rush might be right and humans aren't the cause of global warming? Be on the lookout for flying pigs and monkeys coming from strange places...
He's not in the last three movies (ANH, ESB and ROTJ) so we can probably look forward to his demise at some point. That is unless they do a new "special" special addition and add him (or a descendant) to one of the original trilogy (ala Jabba in A New Hope). I hope not.
CSI may be good...

...but some of the shows on TLC and the like such as Forensic Detectives are far superior. They look at real cases and over the course of the half hour show can take you over the investigative steps even if they lasted a year+. In addition, they have no need to gloss over certain details or make something look cool my doing a computer generated graphic. For example, the bullet pierced the lung is sufficient explanation without showing an animated picture of the same lung deflating. Check it out sometime.
Generally, management (whether a supervisor, mananger, director, VP, etc.) doesn't sit around throwing darts at a phone list deciding who to pick on next. Usually you "earn" the right to extra attention--both positive and negative.
Lots of times, you may not even know what has attracted their attention, but rest assured, something has.
One other note: Don't be so sure about your manager. It's a fact of the business world that just because somebody tells you that they're loyal and watching out for you, doesn't mean that they're not really the one putting the bad reports about you into the director's ear.
One of the reasons I left DoD a few years ago for the private sector was because nobody seemed interested in thinking outside the box and everyone was perfectly content letting the vendors and contractors ram Microsoft, Solaris, and other proprietary stuff down their throats, nor was there any institutional interest in changing over to open source.
I wish I was financially able or had enough passion to leave a job because they didn't change over to open source or wouldn't "think outside the box". I'm content to earn a living, knowing that there will be things that I don't like or agree with. I'll save my moral stands for something that matters.

How can it be going to Alderaan? Don't those NASA geeks know that Alderaan was destroyed by the first Death Star a long time ago?
