.Skip().Take() on Entity Framework Navigation Properties is executing SELECT * on my SQL Server

Question

I have a method on my generated partial class like this:

var pChildren = this.Children
    .Skip(skipRelated)
    .Take(takeRelated)
    .ToList();

Answer 1

Does it help if you call Skip on the result of Take? i.e.

table.Take(takeCount+skipCount).Skip(skipCount).ToList()
