Have No Fear - O' Rileys Here.
On a sad note, a memorable and well-loved character Lt Riley played by Bruce Hyde, passed away from throat cancer on Oct 13th. He was 74. In Star Trek's classic "the Naked Time", Kevin Riley is the Irish navigator who steals the Enterprise in that episode. He will not be forgotten by fans, RIP Bruce and thanks for making us laugh.

Sad that he is gone.
Hydes passing brings the Star Trek count to five for 2015.
It comes to us all I know, but hopefully the Star Trek count for the year has stopped.
Oh my-so many from Star Trek dies this year. He was one of my favourites and I wish they would have kept him on. Even in the video you can hear his voice is not good.
He will never be old in Star Trek
Sad news indeed.
That was a great episode. He helped make it be so.
I has no idea who you were talking about until you said he was Irish. He did a wonderful job and a very talented actor. Sad loss
Very talented gentleman. RIP and Godspeed.
Always sad when a legend dies.
Hope you enjoy your day - I've a feeling you may have a few visitors today :)
:( Sad.
I know I'm early, which means you might have a new post today, but I'm here to blitz you. Happy Blitz Day!
And I'm back to say - happy Blitz day!!!
I remember that episode. He did an excellent job with the character. RIP!
BTW...you're being BLITZED today. Enjoy! :)
Too sad!
Happy Blitz Day though!
That's so sad.
Happy Blitz Day.
I remember that Reilly made us kids laugh when we watched. One of my brothers went around imitating him until my dad did a 'Gibbs' and slapped him upside the head. Lolol!
I enjoyed watching Hyde's interview. We've lost so many of the original characters. That's sad.

So sad. I remember that episode.
Happy Blitz Day!
It's really sad. :-(
Definitely sad when a brilliant actor leaves this world. Anyways, you have been blitzed. Carolyn @ Pastimes-Passions-Paraphernalia.org
Wow.
What a nice tribute you did for him!
It's so hard to lose these actors knowing we are growing old along with them. :)
BAZINGA!!
You've been blitzed!
Have a great day!

I hadn't heard he had died; sad when we get older and so many we watched on TV or in movies start to pass away.
on another note, wishing you a great Blitz day!
betty
Gone, but thanks to all the "Star Trek" fans in the world, never to be forgotten. Nice tribute to him.
How ya feeling? A bit woozy, maybe? You should because you are getting BLITZED today! Enjoy.
Excellent blog!
Been a Trek fan since the 70s so welcome to my "must read" lists!
HAPPY BLITZ DAY!!
I remember going to a Star Trek convention back in the 70's in SLC with my father and brother. What a trip! :O)
Happy Blitz Day, tho' sad to hear of KR's passing.
Sad news for Star Trek fans. But Happy Blitz to you, Spacerguy!

Glad I found this blog. I am a trekkie. Live long and prosper.
So sad.... But Happy Blitz Day to you!
I do love Star Trek! Once played a character named Counselor Demanda Truth in a parody. Happy Blitz!
Happy Blog Blitz Day!
Enjoy the barrage of comments coming your way.
LOVE your blog. And very sorry to hear of this passing.
May you be blitzed for having such a cool blog. Happy Blitz Day!
Boo dying! Love the original Trek. Love them all, really.
Too many deaths, but sadly it's gonna happen. This is a great blog, I'm glad I got the opportunity to check it out. I'll be back! Happy Blitz Day!

Not many of Star Trekk actors left any more.
I *love* all things Trek! Happy Blitz Day!
Happy Blitz Day. I just gorged on some old Star Trek episodes. I really laughed at this one. Thanks for updating us on this.
So, sad! Yes, he will be remembered~ He was a shining star.
Happy Blitz Day, to you!
Sad news. I don't remember that episode (I wasn't much of a Trekkie, so I'm going to have to rewatch it--my son will be thrilled.)
Happy Blog Blitz Day!
I loved Kevin Riley, and I always wished his character had appeared in more episodes.
(Confession time: When my brother and I were kids and played with his Star Trek Enterprise bridge and action figures, I often gave Riley parts in the stories, even if I had to use Chekov's action figure to play him.)
Happy Blitz Day!
I love your blog, even on the sad note of Riley's death.
Happy Blitz Day, and have a look at my sci fi novel at my website

Thanks, Sylvie
Happy Blitz Day. I wish I had more memory of my childhood and this series.
That's sad that he's gone. I'm thankful for the original Star Trek show.
Happy Blitz Day!!!
RIP to him. :/
Sad news. :( I'm ashamed to say I've never watched Star Trek, though it's been on my list for ages.
Happy blitz day!
I'm a huge original Star Trek fan, and his loss is saddening. Your tribute to him is awesome. Thank you for that! I always loved that episode and wished he was featured on more episodes back in the day.
BTW, on a brighter note: HAPPY BLOG BLITZ DAY TO YOU!!
I was sorry to hear the news too. At least he'll live on in the show.
Also, you're awesome, I should visit more often, but I suck at blogging right now. Happy Blitz day!
That's sad to hear.
Have a good Blitz Day.
Such a sad loss. I know, I'm posting twice. I have two blogs.
You've been Blog Blitzed by me AGAIN!! Happy Blog Blitz Day!
Definitely sad news. We've lost so many now.
It's always sad to hear this kind of news. Happy Blitz Day!
I remember that episode. Happy Blitz Day, Spacer Guy!
I need to look out for that episode.
Happy Blitz Day!
Dare I admit, I am not a fan and have never seen Star Trek. Oh well, happy Blitz day. :)
I'll be honest - I'm more of a Star Wars fan - the only things I know about Star Trek I know from my mum (who is a Star Trek fan) and The Big Bang Theory.
Happy Belated Blitz Day - I wrote myself a note to remind me to blitz and forgot anyway - doh!

Happy Blog Blitz day, one day late. I enjoyed this episode. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
How sad, RIP Bruce Hyde.
Happy Blitz day to you!
That is sad.
Happy Blitz Day!!! Sorry I'm so late.
Sorry to hear about the death of a Star you loved.
Hope you had a good Blitz day anyway.
Thanks everyone for all the high fives. I'm delighted Bruce Hyde got a great send off. I'll be beaming over to your blog co-ordinates over the next few days, kapla!
Sad news. :(
Happy belated Blitz Day.
Oh, that is sad news.
Happy very belated blog blitz day!
