I can't help but comment on the inaccuracies though - the Enterprise's deflector dish wasn't a weapon. But then again, I watched sans audio, so maybe there was some sort of excuse? Probably not.
Okay, but what was the point of mentioning the (albeit injured) pit bull? Why not just say an injured DOG? If it had been a golden retriever, the breed would not have been mentioned. Sad.
What a bunch of stereotypical tripe.
