I don't know if I can pick a team where the beard is concerned. I mean, I hated facial hair on men until my fiance. His beard is just YUMMY, and he's the reason I gave CSI a chance, and the reason I got addicted to GSR (he apologizes to most people for that). So, when I first started watching, Gil was clean-shaven, and I liked it. And when he first got the beard, I HATED it. Then, I grew to love it. I thought I was going to get emotional when he cut it off, like I did when my fiance went clean-shaven for a bit (*tear*). So, personally, I don't care.
However, in the context of the show and in an effort to continue facial hair continuity, I think Gil should come back clean-shaven. He might have grown the beard while he was away to keep warm (hah. It's so freakin' warm on the east coast. It's January and it was in the 70's most the week!)... but he should be clean shaven coming home to Sara, since Nick and Catherine think the beard is connected with his happiness in a relationship...
Wow, we debate about poor Mr. Petersen's facial hair a LOT!
What about Sara? Curly of straight? I, personally, think she's gorgeous either way. But, as a woman whose hair is stick straight, I envy those with curl and body!
