I thought that they had mentioned that all the steam powered ships had been taken or destroyed in the wars. Which meant that she had reason to believe she could board a ship to England if she could get to the east coast.

Also- what do you guys think about using spoiler tags? Is there anybody still interested enough in the show that hasn't seen last night's episode? I ask because I know they can kill the flow of the thread, and this thread needs as much help as it can get.

She walked to the east coast in hopes of getting on a ship to London but was told she was too late. There used to be ships that could take people across but are now either destroyed for resources or under the control of the militia.

All I was getting at is that the steam power question has been answered. I had a lot of questions after the first show as well but it seems we just need to be patient and things are being revealed episode by episode in terms of what tech remains and how they envision life after this event.

I agree the first episode moved really fast but it seems they have chosen the flashback method to help with the character development so again have to be patient. It is risky since they very well could loose a lot of potential viewers who don't have the patience to let things build up.
