re: Lost Rewatch Questions

My biggest take away from season 2 was why the hell did the others make such an effort to appear like hill-billies with fake beards? Instead of kidnapping people, why not invite them to New Otherton and be honest with their intentions? They didn't need to be enemies and kill. Instead of kidnapping Claire why not just say, "Hey, pregnant women die on this island. Take this medication". I'm also pissed that there was no payoff to Charlie's greatest hits list. They needed to have a scene where Claire receives it from Desmond.
