You're right. Dr Malone has gone from a well trimmed beard, to looking like a 1960's earthy. His hacking cough is also very clear. Getting worse.

He talks about living on a horse farm, so may live a dual rustic/city-slicker existence. Could also be having lots of late nights and stress.

He, of all people, should have known the downsides of becoming a human chimera. Time will tell. :)
