See I don't get this. WAH premiered (May 1990 at Cannes) before filming began on Season 2. It seems to be a widespread misconception that Lynch had little to do with S2 because of WAH. He actually spent more time working on TP S2 than he did S1. Lynch finished the pilot mid-summer of 1989, began filming WAH on Aug…

Very surfacey (though popular) narrative, as Lynch only directed 6 of the original episodes (and only 3 of the 8 hours in the amazing season 1.) I hope you're not implying that 24 hours of TP is low quality.

I actually found the funeral episode to be very entertaining, though I suppose if you're in a real hurry it can be skipped.

Except you will miss David Duchovny's wonderful turn as Denis/Denise Bryson, which to me was one of S2's highlights. Also I'd stretch that to episode 9 to see the killer apprehended.
