Sgt. Hunter Riley Discussion/Appreciation

[reddevil18]

Ewww.. not the one that single handedly made me stop watching Heroes...
I'm guessing the SG one is called Syler?

Yep, that's him. But I hope Riley won't be the target of silly pratfalls, like Syler was. Sarcasm and deadpan is perfect for him.

I think Eli will probably get his share of silly pratfalls after a while. I can picture Eli and Scott having a little brother/big brother dynamic.

For Riley, I can see him consistently butting heads with Rush (especially with Rush's comments about his understanding of Ancient) and some of the other scientists, like Franklin and Volker.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but i wonder if anyone else except me has noticed that Sergeant riley appears to have the rank pin of a Senior Airman and the USAF dosen't even have the Sergeant rank....

Yes they do. Their are multiplr sergeant ranks

[YoshiKart64]

All I know is that the guy is great with the sarcasm. Hopefully he sticks around, he's the perfect recurring character.

[_Famrir_]

yea he should be the one telling the jokes and not eli

[Adrenaholic]

I know this is a bit off topic, but im curious as to his rank... Im active duty military and this caught my eye in particular: Everyone calls him Sergeant (E-5), but he has Senior airman stripes on his collar (E-4)...

I know that in the 80's-90's USAF E-4's were called buck sergeants, maybe SGU has gone back to this practice...

Are there any AD/Prior Service/Military Buffs who could help me out on this one?

I like Riley. I actually haven't found a character on the show I don't like but Riley in particular is very amusing. I hope he stays on the show for a long time, preferably until it ends.

[TheReturnOfTheLantian]

Do you think Sgt. Riley will be the new gate tech guy for SGU, i.e. Walter/Chuck?
I reckon this Riley guy is a pretty likable guy, and i could used to him. What do you guy think of his character?

He just looks like a Gate Tech. dunno why though

[IcarusAbides]

I like him, i think he will be in it a bit more than walter or chuck were, i know they were always around in the background but i mean that he will star more in the episodes, although that could be said of most people in this series.

[Obi1]

He's growing on me. The first couple of episodes he worried me as a loose cannon but after seeing him in the scene with the colonel, he's a man with some sense of honor and duty. He's like the human version of Teal'c and Ronan.

I think you mean Greer not Riley.

oh duh.



I'm a noobican.

Oh, the skinny guy who left the kino behind. Gotcha. I don't have an opinion yet.

Shame on you for not having an opinion, it was his birthday - surely he deserves and opinion for his birthday.

[zorviny]

Lol... I thought it was appropriate since this seemed like a pretty crappy 30th bday! lol Happy Birthday Riley!



(Change note: I changed the title as omnipedia might have a misprint on Riley's ranking ominpedia says senior airman but as noted by specter I think I heard sergeant also.)
