I agree with John that Holmes is generally a tidy person, however, seeing Downey's portrayal made me wonder if, perhaps, the unkempt Holmes played to the emotional strain Holmes was under knowing he was losing his partner in fighting crime. Perhaps trying to "play" Watson a little, hoping he would change is mind about marrying and stay on as Holmes' compatriot. Unfortunately for Holmes, knowing he has few friends, losing one, especially Watson, could be a serious drain on his emotional well being.Wayne Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334227383182325168noreply@blogger.com
