Okay, I just want to address one point that you keep bringing up. You seem to believe that the palpable tension seen in the arc was due to them going out at some point but then not working out. I disagree. I believe that palpable tension comes from the fact that Jennette was trying to distance herself as much as possible from Nathan because of Nadisen (maybe because of her feelings, maybe for some other reason). Either way, it DEFINITELY wasn't the same (positive) romantic tension we saw in Seasons 1-3. I just think all this Jathan/Nadisen drama happened to come to a head at the most crucial time (when the arc was being filmed) and it ended up reflecting very badly on the episodes. I did notice, however, that things started to cool off later in the season. They still weren't back to normal, mind you, but they were getting back into the swing of things.

There was also a theory I think Sass came up with a long time ago about Steve Hoefer being a questionable director and making Jathan act strange and tense in their Seddie scenes which may also have some merit because they seem to be calmer and more comfortable in episodes not directed by him. However, this could also be due to Dan's over-involvement in the writing as well as he never did seem to get the Seddie-writing down pat. Anyway, I digress.

Oh, just to add more fuel to my Madisen destroys Jathan theory, just look at how astoundingly WELL they were getting along on the TKTJ set. We know that Madisen sometimes hung out on the iCarly set in the later episodes (which could have further risen tensions) but she was nowhere to be found on the S&C set. It's also possible that Matt and Nathan were just such a breath of fresh air and, regardless of what she went through with Nathan, it was still exponentially better than whatever she was going through with Ariana at the time.

I was going somewhere with this but I lost my point, sorry! :(
