We are now direct ticket with God the Father because of Christ's "go between" (mediation) work of dyiung on the cross for our sins.

Do you feel, as I do, that the need for a mediator has passed? We, as do our brothers, have a direct link to the Lord?

I believe in a direct link with the Father so in that respect, YES.

But faith in Christ opens the door so "mediation" is still aplicable, just not the way it is commonly thought of.
My definition of mediator is not a person you pray to who prays FOR you, but His death and resurrection allowed our direct access when we believed. Therefore His action (which was done once) became our mediation between us and the Father.

I do not know what you think about the "preterist" stuff I am sure you have come across, but it is key. (Too many futurists have New Covenant beliefs which can only be true if Christ has already returned. So they are very contradicting in their beliefs).
I believe that the "past" view has cleared issues like this one up for me. I used to be confused about who to address my prayers to.

No More!
