Did anybody see any children at the village?

Ok, Goodwin was sent off right at the beginning when the plane crashed to find out about the tailes and get a list, so why were they attacked that first night before he would have been able to really get these things done, to come up with a list?

That didn't happen to the front section people with Ethan. The fact that it happened the first night is odd to me.

I mean there were two people killed (or taken, I can't remember) that night right? Why would the Henry Gale others kill or kidnap some of the tailies before Goodwin got them a list? I'd have to go back and watch the episode that showed what happened to the tailies but I think two people were killed. That doesn't really make sense, the main group, the front section group weren't systematically attacked like the tailies were. The tailies seem to have had it much worse, they had more experience with the Others. Was it maybe the other faction of others?

The Henry Gale others set a line that they didn't want Jack's group to cross, its not like they were really attacking them like the tailie group was being attacked. So were the Henry Gale group just for whatever reason taking it easier on Jack's group than the tailies (why?), or maybe it was the location of the Tailies on the island?

Or the other faction were the ones attacking the tailies, maybe even that first night, and there just more agressive?

Just thinking out loud, probably gibberish, but I am a bit confused about the first night attack on the tailies. The timing doesn't make sense to me.

But here's one thing, Ethan didn't seem that interested in Walt. Least I don't remember him being that interested, its been a while since I saw season one and I don't have it on DVD. He was interested in Claire's baby, then at the end of the season Walt was kidnapped after Ethan was out of the picture. When did the Henry Gale others become interested in Walt?
