He hasn't been fired back in the main timeline...yet.

Weird that the Kim killing incident would cause him to get fired only in the universe where she was saved-- or did he get fired in the season finale (Do I need to rewatch)?
It may be that the investigation into Kim's death revealed other corner cutting measures that he was fired for.

I was surprised that the official site is selling "FRAK OFF" shirts. Heh.

The part I am confused by is that in the other timeline, Kim's death did not happen , so there could be no invesitgation for him to get fired over (at least not for that reason)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
There was still an explosion though, right? Since the KimLives!Timeline ended up with a sample of the artifact, I assumed that Henry hadn't stopped the experiment, just pulled Kim out of the way of the blast.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I got the impression that Stark was not fired for the incident with Kim, but that after that he continued to with his obession, which eventually got him fired. Maybe Kim's death teaches him a lesson and keeps him from going down that path in the new timeline?

Well, I'm going to W&P BSG - so I hope I'm watching with some of you guys!

I kinda thought it was a later incident as well, so that makes more sense to me.
I certainly hope it's not Jack who keeps Stark from going down that road, as that seems to be entirely against Jacks personal intrest in having babies with his ex-wife. The extra spice this "knowing an alternate future where he is happy" adds to Jacks character (as long as they dont use it too much as an asspull for him to "know" how to get out of a crisis situation) is pretty darn interesting.

Good pull. I didn't catch that. We know from the end of the episode that Bev's handler is inside of GD. Could it be Stark, and was the microchip a red herring? Maybe he's looking for a way to funnel technology out of GD without implicating himself.
