Welcome to the Hellmouth is an excellent start to a wonderful series.
The episode has a few weak breaking the ice moments, but some really strong one time only moments too. Such as Buffy interrupting Giles's speech and leaving him lost for words; and Buffy's first encounter with Angel. There's quality music to kick off and Cordy and Jesse a funny combination here, Cordy with the laughs. It's too strong an introduction and world creation not to get full marks, minus some pop culture references.
Buffy: "You're like a textbook with arms."
