I actually guessed pre or early humanity earth for the final destination back when the whole find earth stuff started, but the show took them to earth (the first time) too soon for that to work then. So getting them there later worked for me and I was alright with how they got there as well.
I was alright with the 150,000 years later as well. At first I wasn't so sure when I saw it. I didn't really want a preachy message that I had some worries about with all the lead ins about god, but the delivery was good so it fit the show well. It's not like it's an uncommon theme in sci fi to talk about the robots taking over, you can find plenty of stories of that, some dating back well over half a century. As other mentioned, they do still end with a small note of hope that the cycle will be broken.
It was a good series. Good sci-fi good drama. Good character development. There were unexpected twists I didn't see, but they generally made sense when you saw them and while it's never easy to end something of that magnitude, they did a good job. Focusing a lot of the attention on the characters and wrapping up their little bits was a solid way to go. I also think Kara was explained well enough.
I also enjoyed the little "riding off into the sunset" deal for Galactica itself. :)

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
