Add Diedrich Bader (Hacker) to the cast!

This is a review of last night's episode. What do you think?

Whoa what?? I haven't read this article yet, but I say a resounding NO! I like Diedrich Bader in small doses only, and only with Booth. plus they already have a large cast, no more room for anyone else LOL

No thanks, he gets really annoying after one episode, if he was to be there for more than once every 5 or 6 I would be going insane.

Ummm...NO...just...NO!

I think recurring character is enough, as part of the main cast there's not enough for him to do. It's good that Booth have him to report to, but if that's his only role (and we know he won't last as Brennan's love interest) I see no real potential.

I like Hacker. He's smitten with Brennan and he's so happy to just be in her presence. He's not out to upset Booth, he loves Booth. And while Booth is understandably jealous of Hacker's relationship with Brennan, it's good that Booth likes and respects Hacker, even if fans can't. I love the Hacker/Booth dynamic, I think they're awesome together!

Didn't HH tweet that Diedrich Bader got some tv role so it might make him unavailable?? I could be imagining things too.

No thank-you!!!

I hate Hackjob. So let me just give a huge HELL NO.

After PitP I liked him! When he's not with Brennan of course. I think he's funny and I'd like to see him pop in and out like Caroline does. Only for professional matters though, no more coffee dates. He's got zero amount of chemistry with Brennan.

I would not mind it at all as long as he on only watches Brennan from far far far away...

I also like Hacker's interactions with Booth, and think he should be there as a recurring for those purposes. He has some funny moments, and some of the humor probably comes off well because he's NOT on all that much.. But long term cast member? Nah!

this actually made me laugh, late April's fools joke??

1st of all this actor is ugly and something went wrong during casting. They would seriously toture me if I have to look at this guy every episode.

2nd adding another character to the cast with an interest in Brennan would just not work.

3rd adding another FBI character to the ''main'' cast would make Bones (as a show) lean more towards the CSI shows where the ''cop'' influance is bigger.

Ummm... what? Well, let me think about it... NO!

late April's fools joke??

Yeah... a bit too late but still FUNNY.

My opinion of Hacker is he is nothing but a Booth wannabe. He's riding on Booth's coattails and he's jealous of what Booth has. Like in Proof in the Pudding when he was upset because he was too late to be the hero...wanting to date Brennan and even told Booth the other night that Booth's successes have been good for his career.

I think the reason why they didn't cast someone more handsome was so that even though him and Brennan sort of hit it off, it's totally obvious that he really is no competition for Booth....except in the height category.

And is Hacker his boss or his boss's boss?

I completely agree with that!! I think that Hacker is good in small doses... if we have it around ALL time... it wouldn't work!

IMO if they add any recurring character the the full time cast it should be Caroline. I love her.

I kind of enjoy Hacker as a small recurring character, but I have no desire for him to take over any screen time from any other our regular guys. I like MI_Bonesgirl's idea of having more Caroline though.

The actress who plays Caroline is also on a Disney show... "Good Luck Charlie"... thought it was interesting cause my daughter was watching it the other day and I was like.. "WAIT... That's Caroline!" LOL

She plays a neighbor on that show, so I'm sure it's not tons of screen time, so I feel safe that her appearing on Bones is safe and secure!

I agree: Caroline would make a great addition as a regular. However, as mentioned earlier, there wouldn't really be a point for her in EVERY episode. That's what happened with Goodman; they realized he wasn't necessary for each and every ep.

Yeah, I agree... I LOVE LOVE Caroline but I think her recurring is better than a regular... cause it increases the dramatic effect when she shows up on a case. If she was there all the time we may become "desensitized"

I love Caroline, I think they wouldn't find enough for her as a regular but if we got a few more episodes of her as a recurring character that would be great

Sorry but that forehead, like i just cant get over it!!

And there is something about hacker that just irritates me, i am sorry i just don't like him. I didn't like jared either, and Sully gave me the @#$%! too. (funny how all of Bones boyfriends/love interests/ shade makers annoy me )

But i dont mind him in the show, i mean seriously no potential for anything between him and Bones!!
And that valdorf or how ever you spell it, that was weird, like really weird, the moment i saw that bit i was like tEiTB!!!

I don't like Hacker - he's irritating. My husband agrees.

Yeah!! I saw thattoo...and she is as cranky and sheis in Bones. I love her!

As much as i would like to hate Hacker... he's so hilarious! Diedrich Bader does such a great job.
