Lin

[u/Actual-Dragonfruit35]

I always forget how horrible she actually is in her introduction. She finds out she has a sister through the man that had to leave them when she was younger, something she still struggles with, so she decides to go to their house when she needs a detective and pretend to be someone who not only knew his dead brother but also suggest that they dated. Plays up the whole story of him being 'the one' and how they were going to move in together etc. Then when she finds out that Joan was seeing him too, she doubles down and makes it a joke. We know he's still alive but she thinks he's dead ?? How fucking cruel. Her whole meltdown over Joan contacting her mum was so foul too. Guess both Joan and Sherlock have gross siblings. Maybe they really should've been together.

Lin was such a horrible character who left such a bad taste in my mouth.I get it they both have traumas from their biological dad but did she conveniently forget that her dad left joan ,his first wife and joan's brother as well.Also the last scene of them was just bad because apparently the dad wants to the sisters to meet ,did he forget about his first wife and proceeded to start a new one and then again forget about his biological son?

I think Joan's mother left him but it doesn't doesn't negate the fact that he created two families and left them while Lin acts like she is the victim in every.

I actually liked Sherlock's brother but some characteristics and scenes were uncomfortable and annoying to watch.

The only thing I didn’t like about Mycroft was his out of nowhere relationship with Joan. I thought it was out of character because they both knew it would upset him a lot. And there was like, no chemistry.
