I think it’s just “Kevin Riley.” Does anyone know if we can look this info up somewhere?

Yeah, I rewatched this at my buddy’s recording studio (he has a U-Matic VTR set up there since he’s in charge of rebroadcasting in minor markets not serviced by the major networks -AWESOME!- )

It was clearly just “Riley.” At least, that’s what everybody called him, I don’t know what was in the script, tho I’m sure we could get a copy by writing NBC or Desilu.

Riley must have been really broken up there eh?

You know what’s wrong with Joey? Yeah, he’s dead.

I guess we could just wait to find out. It’s obvious they plan on developing this guy as a major character in the series. Maybe they’ll use him as part of the ship’s security section - they could justify him having lots of showtime that way because all the senior officers will be staying out of danger up on the ship and the security officers will be the characters the audience ends up seeing week after week.
