*nods* Yeah, I think I need some time to let my feelings about the finale settle in before I'll know how I really feel about it. I guess right now I'm emotionally overinvested in the characters *g* -- I'm just feeling terribly upset on Peter and Mozzie's behalf because of the emotional hell they've had to through, and awful for Neal because he's all alone in Paris, and just sort of generally pissed because this is not the ending I wanted. >:(
But give me some time to get used to it, and I may feel a lot more optimistic about it. Nobody's dead, and I agree that Peter's not mad at all; I think both Peter and Mozzie's main reaction to seeing Neal again will be relief and joy. And now that Peter knows (and Mozzie, based on the card in the storage unit, presumably knows) they'll surely get back in touch with each other.
I guess half the problem here is just that I want to see all this stuff onscreen. For me, fanfic isn't a substitute, and looking forward to the anticipation of everyone meeting again in Paris isn't the same as actually seeing a reunion onscreen. Right now I guess I kinda feel like we got all the grief and none of the catharsis, which is why I'm in such an emotional tangle about it!
On the other hand, there have been a lot of shows that have left my favorite characters in a far worse place (dead, say). So it could definitely be worse!
