I think TOS is too difficult to be someone’s first trek experience.
Comment on What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek?

If you are talking TOS then for me it’s “The City on the Edge of Forever”.

I must disagree. ToS was where it all started. It was many people’s first trek experience. It was not “too difficult”. It was exceptional. The stories were interesting, easy to follow, and they were not dumbed down or used “big words” like TNG did to make it seem more intelligent. In my humble opinion, ToS is the best place for people new to Star Trek to venture forth. Thanks for reading.

I think the pacing of the episodes has not held up well. I admit that there were good episodes, but it can be hard to really enjoy if you’re not prepared for it.

This 100%. It was written by Harlan Ellison, and adjusted to his chagrin by D. C. Fontana and Gene L. Coon. It won a Hugo award in 1968.
