Riker: beard or no beard?
 

Just a fun little question. What do you prefer? Personally I like the beardy awesomeness of him.

Re: Riker: beard or no beard?
 

I like the beard, he seemed more fun and playful with the beard.

Re: Riker: beard or no beard?
 

Much better with the beard.

Re: Riker: beard or no beard?
 

I vote yes on the beard, if nothing else it helped hide the initial weight gain in his face.

Beard. In the first season he looked like he barely graduated high school.

Everything is better with a beard.

I dunno. I think he looks good (for a wacky crab catcher).

Re: Riker: beard or no beard?
 

Beard. It definitely made him look younger. Beardless Riker looked like a teenager. :p

Re: Riker: beard or no beard?
 

NO BEARD.

I prefer the beard, especially after they changed the uniforms. It gave him a more nautical sea captain kind of vibe which I liked.

Re: Riker: beard or no beard?
 

I liked the beard. Without, he just looked too much like a kid. No offense, Frakes. *runs and hides*

Re: Riker: beard or no beard?
 

Yet another vote for the beard, for all the above reasons!

Re: Riker: beard or no beard?
 

Beard. It is very naval looking, and gives him his air of authority.

The beard made him look mature enough to be over the other officers like Geordi & Worf
