In spite of this as the series goes on the two seem to have the closest thing to a friendship even though Garrett's enthusiastic personality completely contrasts Eduardo's cynical attitude. He also has an on the surface rivalry with Garrett with the two often mocking each other and attempting to one up the other. He has a vicious rivalry with Slimer, but has ended up working with the ghost, and volunteered to save him in "Slimer's Sacrifice". In "Fear Itself", it's revealed that Eduardo has a fear of death (specifically his own). In the same episode it is also implied that his father is dead (or at least retired) as he and Carlos refer to him in the past tense during a heated argument. In "Rage", Eduardo reveals to have an older brother, Carlos "Carl" Rivera, an NYPD officer who is angry with Eduardo for not being a police officer like the rest of their family, and thinks the Ghostbuster are a scam, which is why Eduardo kept his job a secret. In "The Unseen" he takes the rap for Kylie's mistake, not wanting "the worst day of her life to get any worse". In fact, in the episode "Darkness at Noon" he outright admitted to Kylie, who was possessed by a ghost at the time, that he felt an attraction of sorts when he saw her for the first time and even showed the intention of kissing her when Kylie asked him to. He once said to Kylie herself that nothing was going to happen to her "while around". These feelings are further enforced in that he is usually the one to rescue Kylie from dangerous situations, and vice versa, in several episodes. Eduardo has a long-running subplot dealing with a love/hate relationship between him and Kylie, although it is very much revealed "In Your Dreams" that he has intimate feelings and dreams about her. Eduardo, along with Garrett, resembles original Ghostbuster Peter Venkman in that, like Venkman, Eduardo is sarcastic, has a penchant for pursuing attractive women, and is generally unscientific and constantly spouts pop culture references. Eduardo Rivera (voiced by Rino Romano) – Seemingly a lazy, sarcastic and somewhat clueless character, Eduardo nevertheless makes himself an integral part of the team by being determined and reliable.He's been living with Egon for over a decade now, and the two are closer than in the original series when trying to get Egon to discipline the ghost in "Glutton for Punishment", Janine says she knows the two have been through a lot together, and in "Slimer's Sacrifice" Egon immediately suits up to enter the Containment Unit to rescue him, but after he is attacked by the ghost, Eduardo goes in to save Slimer. He's got a strong rivalry with Eduardo, similar to the one he had with Peter Venkman, though several episodes show that Eduardo – and the other Ghostbusters – do care for him as much as he annoys them. His actions often affect the story, usually adversely, though he often acts to fix his mistakes and on a number of occasions has been shown to have a heroic nature and that he can wield a proton pack. Slimer is very well-meaning, but is often pushed around by the Ghostbusters as he gets in their way and eats continually. In "Fear Itself", it's revealed that Slimer is afraid of broccoli (which is ironic, as he has been shown to eat anything). However, he is given a less cartoony look to fit in with the series' overall style. Slimer (voiced by Billy West) – Slimer remains the most unchanged of all the characters in terms of personality.I heard they have a good GBA game that I really should check out, and I wouldn't mind seeing that team reassembled for another season or a reboot of sorts, since the crew had chemistry and with all the new horror stuff they can pull from like SCPs and all these days, it'd be neat to see what scenarios they could get into.From left to right in front: Garrett Miller, Slimer, Kylie Griffin, Eduardo Rivera, and Roland Jackson. It was especially bad with the series finale, where they try to hammer in how destructive the entity is and how the team barely wins, and then suddenly all these missing and deceased along with vehicles and buildings are all popping back into existence with a new lease on life. Another big issue was how they later on dumbed down the stakes by making it a rule where if the ghost is caught, all their damage is undone. I'll never know what they were thinking with the weird color filters when they're firing their proton streams, since it's like an anti-seizure deal I guess but it's really distracting compared to how RGB would do it. It had some good episodes in it, though it also had some bad quirks that dragged it down.
