is it possible that it was only the best ever if you already knew the characters some?
Possibly. Certainly when the subject is BTVS, which is my show, I don't recommend that beginners start with the very best episodes because they're not the best introductory episodes.
But there was nothing cryptic about the Sopranos episode, and I suspect that it's just not my kind of show. Gangsters don't appeal to me, and I found The Godfather both boring and repulsive, a fatal combination.
Maybe the Q shows do get re-run more, but I think I saw these on first run. I also saw the episode with the first appearance of the Ferengi. At this point they were nothing more than Munchkins from Hell. Oh, the pain, the pain ...
