“The narrative we’ve been given for those simply doesn’t seem to jive.” Very, very softly I whisper, “Is the word you mean maybe ‘jibe’?”

Nope. I meant jive.

‘Doesn’t jibe’ is a fancy way of saying ‘this ship is not sailing.’ Which is true enough, I suppose, but I thought ‘doesn’t jive’ drew a more accurate comparison between season 3 and drunken white guys floundering helplessly on a dance floor.
