I did catch that. I also thought for a second that the line of German dialogue was Nightcrawler bamfing in to save everybody, but you see him a little later and he seems as shocked as everybody, so I realized it was Magneto talking and a callback to a couple of conversations earlier in the episode.
Another detail I really like is the bits in the opening titles that change every week and show scenes from TOS that are pertinent to the coming episode but have been re-done in the new animation style. (And they're not necessarily reproduced shot-for-shot, like in the latest opening they zoom in on Forge like "Marvel's Merry Mutants previously encountered Forge in season 3, episode 15, 'Cold Comfort', true believers!") Reproducing existing scenes probably isn't a huge hit to the ol' budget but it's still a visible effort put into what amounts to a couple of blink-and-you'll-miss-them Easter eggs at the top of each show that a significant portion of the audience is going to skip over and not see at all (but I suspect a smaller portion of this audience skips the titles than most shows').
