If you're trying to introduce your wife to STAR TREK, then, I think, you want to introduce her to that STAR TREK philosophy: people aren't who or what they seem, people can work together regardless of their differences, yada-yada, that high-morality stuff, self-sacrifice, blah-blah. That said:

Do it the old fashioned way, start at the beginning and watch it through till the end, Brain and all. That is the real way to get the full TOS experience.

The reason for these choices is it shows a diversity of Trek as a whole.

THen just show the menagerie, as it gives The Cage as a flashback, omitting some of the parts that make it hard to follow. Also, it has that cool wheelshair...

I'm not familiar enough with TOS to answer this one, unfortunately. All I know is that "The Trouble with Tribbles" must be on the list. If you want an episode a non-Trekkie girl will like, that's probably one to get your foot in the door with. I intend to try it on my fiancee after we get married in 59 days.
To be off-subject for a moment and answer shikaru's question, B5's episode titles were... impressive, would be a good description. "And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place", "Sleeping in Light", "Intersections in Real Time", "A Late Delivery From Avalon", some were pretty cool. Others, "And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder", "Movements of Fire and Shadow", just got to be a little much. "Falling Toward Apotheosis", "The Very Long Night of Londo Molari"...
Andromeda had some good titles early on, like "It's Hour Come Round at Last", "Una Salus Victus", and "Forced Perspective". Even somewhat later ones, like "Double or Nothingness", were still cute. My personal favorite for ep titles is still Farscape, though. I love the "We're So Screwed" trilogy. And ANYTHING is better than Smallville's seven years of one-word titles, which Voyager seemed to get pretty close to at times...

Married? Two months? Does that mean you'll finally be getting your dick wet?
