There are numerous Class M planets in the galaxy.

Many have attractive females who catch Captain Kirk’s eye.

All of them have humanoid inhabitants. And all of the aliens speak English.

I was kind of hoping they would discover intelligent life
on planet Earth.

I call dibs on the Orian green skin dancing girls, and any planets where the females need me to help them repopulate.

When I was in high school we were shown an early TV show with a title something like "The Flying Disk Man from Mars." The alien was remarkably human-like and spoke good English. He explained that they had learned English by listening to radio broadcasts.

It might work for a planet many light-years away, but the radio waves don't travel faster than light, so it could be a long time before our radio broadcasts reach them...and how are they going to know to screen out the foreign-language programs and listen to the English-language ones only?
