Season 1 Episode Rank

[Fox]

I'm returning to the Buffyverse after a couple of years away and watched Season 1 again recently. I intend to go through the series in order at an easy pace (I'm a certified pleasure-delayer!) Here's my episode ranks/grades for the first season, please feel free to post your own if you think we are worthy of your opinions!

1. Welcome To The Hellmouth B+
2. The Harvest A-
3. The Witch A
4. Teacher's Pet B-
5. Never Kill A Boy On The First Date C+
6. The Pack A-
7. Angel A
8. I Robot, You Jane A
9. The Puppet Show A-
10. Nightmares B+
11. Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight A
12. Prophecy Girl A+

These grades are relative to eachother within this series and not future series. I must say though, while some eps stand out, there isn't an episode of Buffy that I can honestly say I don't like to some degree. It either like, really like, really really like, really really really like...and so on and so forth...you get the picture!

This is my first proper post so don't all stake me if you think this is stupid!

Yowza.

Season one is just....not very good. My grades are not going to be very favorable. But I have to take in account how I feel about the rest of the series. Which, admittedly, is pretty damn good! Otherwise, why else would I be here at BF?!

1. Welcome To The Hellmouth C-
2. The Harvest D
3. The Witch C-
4. Teacher's Pet D
5. Never Kill A Boy On The First Date C+
6. The Pack C
7. Angel C
8. I Robot, You Jane F
9. The Puppet Show D-
10. Nightmares D+
11. Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight C-
12. Prophecy Girl C+

That's right! Not an A or B to be seen! If I would have started watching when BtVS first aired there is no way I would have continued to watch. So I am thankful I didn't get into it until much later.

As for an actual rank and not grade:

1. Never Kill A Boy On The First Date
2. Prophecy Girl
3. The Pack
4. Angel
5. Welcome To The Hellmouth
6. Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight
7. The Witch
8. Nightmares
9. The Harvest
10. Teacher's Pet
11. The Puppet Show
12. I Robot, You Jane
