So we started watching my first season DVD set with a notepad in hand and I've been studying every intricate detail I come across.
Immediately, the first episode brings a question to mind. Jack lands in a bamboo patch a good distance away from the beach. However, he was sat next to Rose on that beach. Why did he land so far away? Was he really on the plane at all? I'm still studying, but I need Rose to confirm that she talked to Jack on the plane because otherwise, Jack and that other doctor Desmond, the one in the bunker, could have been on the island together before the plane even crashed and that opens up a whole new realm of ideas for me. Desmond gave up medical school because he believed in "miracles", maybe the island is purgatory and the black thing is what decides if you have made it to the other side???
Second, Jack is shown with a tattoo on his shoulder. It's the number five with a big triangle over it. In the bunker they show a symbol for The Dharma Initiative - the one in the film - now the symbols are not the same, but the triangle in Jack's tattoo looked like it was formed with a series of lines, not a solid shape, much like each "petal" in the Dharma Initiative's octagon, is there a connection there?
In the first episode, the thing in the jungle makes a whirring sound, much like a helicopter or possibly hovercraft? I don't think that thing and the black cloud which roars are the same thing. It's the whirring thing that kills the pilot, so it's as tall as a medium tree - so a hovercraft works for me...

By posting a comment just as you did to respond, I can reply. That's the neat thing with blogs. They really can go on and on. :-)
And to answer your question. Claire and Charlie are both kidnappedin the first season while she was still pregnant. There was a fellow "crash survivor", Ethan, who really wasn't a survivor at all but someone who'd been on the island for years and was more than a little psycho. He kidnapped Claire and Charlie, but only wants Claire, so he strings Charlie up in a tree. Kate and Jack find Charlie and bring him back to the beach. Three or four episodes later, Locke comes out of the woods with a very dazed Claire in his arms. She seems to have amnesia though and doesn't remember much. They figure Ethan will come back so they decide to set a trap with Claire as the bait. They do get hold of Ethan but Charlie shoots and kills him before they can question him.
