Just watched Balance of Terror

As someone on their first watch through (aside from the recent movies).

My god, that was a good episode. Great depiction of a space battle. Excited I finally decided to take the plunge.

Now you see why Romulans ended up a recurring villain... very strong start. Compare that to how long they took to bring back the Gorn!
God, yeah, it was an absolutely incredible episode. I watched it recently too, I was curious after seeing SNW's treatment of it. I never watched much TOS because it wasn't very engaging to me as a child in the 2000s, but I was drawn into BoT almost immediately and felt like I barely blinked the whole hour.
