I am P R A Y I N G people don't act like assholes over Mrs. Hudson, but I loved the episode itself.

It was wonderful :3 And Ms. Hudson is really amazing ;;

Ms. Hudson was awesome. And she is their housekeeper. Sortof. Anyone who can clean up the huge messes Sherlock makes and put them in order that Sherlock not only understands, but seems to respect, is fantastic.

Pam, the lady driving the plow, looked horribly familiar to me and I have no clue what show I've seen her in. I'm thinking maybe she was one of the mothers on Freaks and Geeks. I hope we get to see her more in the future.

Sherlock is still picking out Joan's clothing. Those socks looked very warm. I was amused that she mostly got dressed under the blanket even though he'd turned his back.

Joan is getting better at the whole deduction thing. She figured out the guard shot before he died. And I loved her making Sherlock tell exactly how he'd figured out about the ambulance.

Clyde was back and really enjoying that lettuce.

Blood splatter analysis!

I was watching the end of the episode when my brother came into the room.
brother: So Sherlock’s the one with the bad sweaters in the Americanized version, huh?

I really loved that riot sequence in the station at the end -- I was really worried at first, I thought there was actually a riot going on, but then when it cut to the officers hitting the walls and banging their chairs on the floor, and then the FEMA lady's face.... priceless :D

I feel like the odd woman out cause I found this ep really dull. Ms. Hudson wasn't really given anything to do except light a fire and organize things. I hope they give her more to do in future eps.

Joan's wardrobe was over the top ridiculous tonight. Shorts in a storm? Heels when going out on foot? Although at least they let her wear pants for that.

Prince Clyde was adorable and useful as usual. <3

I really enjoyed this episode and I really liked it when Sherlock said that it was the stage's loss but the nypd's gain when Bell joined the force. The whole episode just kept me laughing! And the things with Joan getting dressed under the covers makes sense especially when it's that cold and there's no heat. Loved Mrs.Hudson no matter how they introduce the character.

This episode definitely had more humor than most of the others. Two particularly funny parts stood out to me. The first is when Ms. Hudson offers to build the fire in the drafty brownstone fireplace and Watson is delighted. Ms. Hudson's explanation--"Merit badge"--becomes a sly dig at the Boy Scouts, whose policies about sexual orientation and gender identity are infamous.

The second part that stood out to me is Watson's attempt to give Holmes a lesson in empathy. After he makes the convoluted (and unexplained) deduction about the tracks in the snow and the ambulance, Watson gives him a hilarious taste of his own medicine. "The driver had a lazy eye, the other two met in basketball camp, and one has a case of canine lupus. See how it feels?!"

Things I liked in ep 19:
- Sherlock in funny sweaters
- Clyde the turtle is alive and well
- Gregson and Holmes are on good terms again, no tension between them
- Pam, who helped Holmes and Watson with transport :)
- Holmes gives money to a homeless old man so he could rent a hotel room for the night of the snow storm. That was really GOOD thing to do! I'm proud of Holmes.

Things I didn't like:
- the detective plotline... sorry, but this didn't work for me. Unconvincing.
- Ms. Hudson. She was a big surprise. I agree that she was charming, good-looking, helpful, etc. The character has prospects for future development but I didn't like her. I got she had a degree in ancient history but makes her living being a Muse. I know who muses in Greek literature were, but what Holmes said sounded more like a professional mistress.
