I rewatched this yesterday, before the games began, with my young son.
1. He loved it...was completely transfixed.
2. More importantly, I'm glad the content of the episode allowed me to share it with him without feeling uncomfortable.

I probably started watching at 2 or 3...but the 70s was a different time in America than it is now, and my parents let me watch a lot of live-action television I probably wouldn't let my kids watch now haha.
 
really? that was what hooked my mom to trek (tos & tos-movies only)

Yeah. It was actually kind of fortuitous. I was in kindergarten and, for reasons I don't even remember, I had this weird phase where I was obsessed with aquatic life. I had books and dolphin stuffed animals and the like. It didn't last very long either. I thought Gilly was awesome, but I never had any lingering aspirations to become her. That Trek thing, though, stuck with me for a while.

And incidentally, it's my mom's favorite too. It actually came out on her birthday. My aunt was in town for Thanksgiving and my Gramps treated us all. Though I've always expected Gramps had ulterior motives. There had just been a new series announced and he wanted to make a convert to watch it with each weel.

my mom's favourite scene is when a certain ghettoblaster gets shut down
 
Here's a positive review for STD 2.01 that I can agree with, for the most part.
