Best TOS episodes for Trek newcomers?

[Shatmandu]

"Spock's Brain" would be the bestest.

Joe, worstest

Don't start with Doomsday Machine if they're younger than, say, 30.
My brother-in-law and I thought that would be the most exciting episode to get his teenage kids interested, and all they did was make fun of the effects.

Presumably, now they would be watching the remastered version...which, hopefully, isn't as funny to watch...

The remastered version does not exist in my universe.

Just start with "Where No Man..." and continue on in production order.

BINGO.

Could not have put it better myself. Why screw with the way the Great Bird intended, even if NBC didn't quite see it that way?
