#9: Star Trek: The Original Series, season 1, episode 14 "Balance of Terror"
Written by Paul Schneider, directed by Vincent McEveety.
Stardates 1709.2 through 1709.6 (December 2266)
"You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could've called you 'friend.'" - Romulan Commander
Earth outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone are suddenly going silent. The Enterprise is rushing to rendezvous with Earth Outpost 4 when it, too, stops transmitting. They manage to send one final message, that they were attacked by an unknown vessel, just before it is completely destroyed. This unknown vessel is strongly believed to be Romulan in origin. It not only possesses a deadly new type of weapon, but can make itself invisible. Captain Kirk must find a way to engage and stop this rampaging ship without jeopardizing the Enterprise and its crew or starting an interstellar war.
Originally released: 15 December 1966

Oh yeah, that's a nice commentary!
And no, I don't actually speak "Alemagne." But... when I feel my French is strong enough, I really would like to learn as much Deutsche as I can handle. Now, of course much of that flows out of the fact that modern English is almost entirely built out of ancient West-Germanic, with Norman-French layered on top, some centuries later.
It's like... reading and speaking modern English downright teases me with so much French and German in terms of the words, the sentence... just everything. I feel like I must figure out this mystery, some way or the other! lol
