Confused ...

I am a bit confused. I thought the 12 colonies were destroyed in the classic version of the series just as they were in the recent version. Then, how come in episode six, The Lost Warrior, Apollo lands up on a planet with humans? Are the 12 colonies not the only human colonies? If the only survivors are the ones on the ships, then where does this planet fit in? Also, if there are so many planets on which people can settle, why do they insist on taking civilians around ships?

I have to say though that these are growing on me. What is fascinating is that each series is, in a way, an examination of the culture at the time it was made.
