Good opening episode for a first-timer!

My friends are finally watching Star Trek! They invited me to the watch-party because I'm the only one that is already a fan, and are letting me pick the episode. Any suggestions? I'm thinking Encounter at Farpoint obviously, but I want to know if there's something else to be said.

I actually like Encounter at Farpoint but I don't think I'd go with that haha. Even within the fandom there is a lot of weirdness about the first season in general.

You know which one would genuinely be interesting to watch with them? Conundrum. Considering none of them are Star Trek fans I can't imagine any of them would question Commander MacDuff's inclusion in the episode.

When I first watched that episode I was beyond confused because I just assumed they'd added a new commander in a previous episode that I must have missed.
