One would think that it would be time for seriousness, but it wasn't in then Executive Officer Capt. Honors' comedy land. What you are about to see was recorded and edited on military equipment during wartime, with multiple characters played by the man who now commands the Enterprise. XO Movie Night happened at a clip of approximately one per week, with videos broadcast across the ship's entire closed-circuit network.
The videos were produced with military equipment using multiple editing and filming techniques. All filming took place on the Enterprise, with the majority occurring in the Persian Gulf during active bombing missions. Complaints were made, which Capt.
