Mrs. Hudson was excellent. And I too loved John explaining the difference between civilian and army doctors.
The more I think about the way the secret society of women was presented, the less I like it. *sigh*
I'm interested in your perspective on the KKK hats. I've seen some people (Americans, I think) on tumblr arguing that lots of other less-awful secret societies have used similar pointy hoods (true, but not necessarily relevant to how modern viewers perceive the costume design) and that people outside the US aren't necessarily going to associate those pointy hoods with the KKK. I'm skeptical of the latter claim, but I'm American and thus don't really know how others see those robes.
But, oh! We got Mycroft and Greg side by side and actually talking to each other!
Ha, yes! I don't even ship Mycroft/Lestrade, but I was happy to see that because I knew it would make a lot of other friends happy. I saw someone point out that Mycroft is literally carrying a torch for Greg in the graveyard scene, which amuses me.
