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.

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?

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

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...

If so, he's being pretty complimentary to one or the other since their respective bathrooms were about 200 feet apart.
