Because books.

It bothered me, too, that Ana Lucia and the others went on so long about not seeing Nathan on the plane, but not one of them seemed to not remember seeing Goodwin on the plane. At that point, wouldn't you have been trying to place everyone?

Misdirects irritate me more and more lately. Why didn't Nathan argue? Wouldn't anyone who'd been thrown into a pit by his only companions yell his head off, giving any and all details of his life, anything to prove he was who he said he was?

And clearly he wasn't in on it with Goodwin, because there was no indication of that when Goodwin freed him. Before, you know, snapping his neck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Or are you talking after that point?

After that point, I meant. They're all crazy creepy magical and stuff, and that looks like a huge failure on their part.

Amy, I'm with you on the misdirects. Some explanation of why he had to pee for hours might have been a start.

Exactly. Although, if he truly did...well, poor guy.

Yeah, an off-hand remark from Goodwin about how Nathan had found a stash of food or something that he was keeping to himself would have gone a long way towards explaining his behavior.

Then again, maybe I DON'T want to know what he was off doing for two hours by himself. Ewww.

Yeah, based on his defensiveness I though he might have headed off to engage in a bathroom activity that he'd have been more embarrassed to have an audience for.

"What are ya doing in there? Don't you know someone else needs to use that tree?"

Nathan could have been following voices that led him nowhere, or the ghost of his dead father that he went to retrieve in Australia, or whatever. There is something creepy on Lost Island beyond just the Others. In fact, haven't we speculated that there are at least two supernatural influences operating at odds with each other?

He also spent a hell of a lot of time in the bathroom on the plane.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm sure there's a perfectly logical scientific explanation for all of it.

Really...

So did Charlie.
