Opening the trial on Wednesday, prosecutor Nanette Rogers SC said this case was "originally thought to be a mass food poisoning event".

Real-world Nanette Cole, still an undervalued 9-to-5-er, is impressed by the version of herself that runs a ship, but it’s not mutual for Capt. Cole.

The cues of classic sci-fi were still there — including Nanette’s garb deliberately evoking Ripley in “Aliens,” and space combat evoking “Star Wars” — but Haynes also wanted to lean into what makes these stories original.

Cue Haynes, who knew how to introduce the door-opening moment with otherworldly suspense: light, mist, a silhouetted Nanette.

“I wanted this to be my Spielberg moment, building up to this godlike creep, and Nanette facing her abuser.”
