Speaking of unavoidable, Irene Adler, Holmes' one uncapturable (is that a word?), simply had to be cast as a potential love interest. And yes, we can tell that this movie takes place THAT early in their relationship because Watson has not yet married his wife (the retconning did annoy me, too, by the way, but you just can't avoid a little re-imagining here and there). It wasn't until after Doctor Watson took him in hand that he truly refined himself and became a "respectable" member of society. He was a brawler who practiced martial arts and was as likely to slum around in the filthiest of rags as he was a suit. For the record, Holmes was a miserable, irresponsible drug addict who did indeed sleep on the floor, insult his best friend, experiment on his dog, and never ever wore a deerstalker's cap (at least, not until television was invented). not the movie, but the number of self-professed Holmes aficionados who apparently have no knowledge of Holmes.
