It's over. Reactions? Sad, disappointed?

I know there was a lot of meaning & easter eggs I will never get & know about because I don't have the myriad of input that I received from IMDb, but to me, the ending sucked. I just realized they got rid of the men. Died. Left. Relegated. So Joe is teaching school at some east coast college pining away for his former life, love, and friends while Donna and Cameron start a music streaming service like iTunes? I did want Joe and Cameron to be together, but if they were apart, at least be happy. Joe did not look happy. Again the plot movement was clunky. I still can't figure out why Joe and Cameron broke up & why all of a sudden Comet went out of business immediately when Yahoo showed up. Can someone explain how that made sense? No thank you Chrises, no thank you.

I liked the ending. What else would you expect? They fail at everything they did throughout the entire season so I would expect this to happen at the end. Yahoo! style.

They went on to start an App company, in my opinion.

It felt too long, too focused on Cameron who most seemed to be an observer. They could have cut 30 minutes off, maybe even 60, and told the same story. I'm happiest with Joe's story. We know what will happen to the women, they outlined the whole story during the Phoenix scene. Gordon's is the most disappointing and sad.

I loved it. The reason Joe knew they were finished after seeing that Yahoo was in the toolbar of the netscape browser is because they were. If you remember the early days of the internet most people would hit the search engine that was on the browser. Netscape was a huge browser at the time.
Sometimes unrealized love is the best kind. Sure Joe and Cameron never got together during this time period but who's to say they didn't 5-10 years later??? Joe teaching Humanities was the perfect ending for him. The pictures of Gordon, Cameron and Haley are reminders of how he found his humanity, shed his selfishness. How he found his purpose. Don't forget how Joe was in the first season. He was not the most likeable guy. Season 4 he was likeable. Now he is teaching people. Don't forget about what Donna said about people.
20 years ago I would have probably been disappointed with this ending as well. But as you get older you realize there are not true happy endings and probably the happiest any of us can be is have purpose and live long enough to enjoy it. All our characters seem to have gotten that. Except for Gordon if course. But he was in a good place in the end. Good with his kids,friends etc. And still an enormous influence on those he loved.

it was fine

Not surprisingly, I'm sad it's over, but was not disappointed in the finale, if that's what you mean.

Episode 7 was breathtaking, heartbreaking, heartwarming, real, and perfect. The tone they hit on episode 8 was also perfect.

The only criticism I have is of the finale. Could have done without the imaginary Phoenix sign that appeared over Donna and Cameron as they talked about their imagined future.
