Some fans did not like the killer Christopher Pelant
As fans are aware, hacker turned murderer Christopher Pelant (Andrew Leeds) kills Brennan's friend Dr. Ethan Sawyer (Darin Toonder) and temporarily pins it on her in Season 7, Episode 13, "The Past in the Present." According to the original poster, "It's ridiculous all the stuff they say he can do. It makes him the worst. He has access to so many resources that he shouldn't have." Several commenters shared that they were also unhappy with Pelant's presence on the show.
"It had its moments but it went on for too long and they made him too omnipotent. For a show that claims to try and be believable (wasn't that the excuse for all the Hannah S6 pain) they really went off with the fairies for his evolving storyline," wrote u/Bones206-447 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bones/comments/t69ztw/does_anybody_else_feel_like_the_pelant_storyline/hzadzq0/). Redditor u/Terrible_Impress6520 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bones/comments/t69ztw/comment/hz9xrda/) also referenced that the hacker was able to steal Dr. Jack Hodgins' (T.J. Thyne) fortune in Season 8, Episode 12, "The Corpse on the Canopy."
While some "Bones" viewers did not enjoy Pelant, executive producer Stephen Nathan shared that both he and creator Hart Hanson are fans of the character while speaking to Collider (https://collider.com/stephen-nathan-hart-hanson-bones-season-8-interview/) in 2012. "Hart and I both hate serial killers, as a rule, but we loved this guy. He's just the most interesting multiple murderer that we've ever had on the show," he said.
