issues w/ Nolan's 'Odyssey': leaning on the Sea Peoples as Ithaca's existential threat is just flat-out ahistorical Odysseus commenting on the "end of the age of bronze" is the most ridiculous thing that not a single person ever uttered in the late Bronze Age collapse I mean, c'mon

apparently Edwards deleted a metric shit-ton of relevant text messages from what he turned over (400+ messages w/ Staffer 2) and the missing messages were conveniently the ones w/ the most compromising content tl;dr Chuck's a sex pest who tried to cover his tracks when called out on it
