My personal feeling is to just watch the whole second season. Viewers now already have the advantage of knowing that the story does "pick up" later on, and in the context of the show on the whole the relaxed pace of that early segment is almost a nice break (unless I suppose you really really hate that sort of material). I think its supposed "suckiness" was a bit over-stated at the time, particularly by novel readers who were wanting to see specific later content get more focus. But I think when you consider the franchise on the whole (at what will end up being nearly 80 episodes), it's a small segment. When you're marathoning the show, I think it will pass right by.
