c# - IQueryable<T> gives different result than a List<T>

If I use Select on IQueryable on my entity framework result I'll get 4 items as a result.

If I use Select on an IQueryable.ToList() I get all 36 items.

Here's code of the function:

public ImagesGetModelView Get(int start, int count)
{
    if (count <= 0) count = 9;
    else if (count > ImageHandler.MaxResult) count = ImageHandler.MaxResult;    

        IQueryable<Image> imagesList = ImagesHandler.FetchRangeScore(start, count)
           .Where(m => m.Domain == Database.Enums.ImageDomain.Gfycat);

        //Works using list :(
        //var list = imagesList.ToList();

        //Select all subreddits once
        //Returns 4 instead of 36 if not using the list ...
        //Returns 1 instead of 2 with Distinct() if not using the list
        IEnumerable<Subreddit> subreddits = imagesList
           .Select(m => m.Subreddit); //.Distinct();           

        ImagesGetModelView result = new ImagesGetModelView()
        {
            Items = imagesList,
            Subreddits = subreddits
        };

        return result;
    } 

public IQueryable<Image> FetchRangeScore(int a_start, int a_count)
    {
        return Repository.AllQueryable().OrderByDescending(m => m.Score)
          .Skip(a_start).Take(a_count);
    }

Out of the 36 items 2 Subreddits will be distinct. But since only 4 out of 36 are fetched from Select() it only finds 1 distinct.

So is there anything I can do with the LINQ expressions to get correct data so the distinct statement works or do I have to make it into a List before continuing with the Select & Distinct functions?

Edit:
by moving the where satement from the end to the start of the whole query. It appears to work correctly now. Select returns all 36 items e.t.c... which in turn makes the Distinct work since it can find more than 1 unique value.

 public IQueryable<Image> FetchRangeScore(int a_start, int a_count)
    {
        return Repository.AllQueryable()
          .Where(m => m.Domain == Database.Enums.ImageDomain.Gfycat)
          .OrderByDescending(m => m.Score)
          .Skip(a_start).Take(a_count);
    }

Most likely your Where clause is behaving differently in SQL Server than it would in .NET. Specifically, depending on your collation settings and such, it's likely that various .Domain values differ only by capitalization or something like that, making them "equal" to Gfycat in SQL, but not in C#.

You can capture the .ToString() on your IQueryable<> to see what SQL is being produced and try it yourself.

IQueryable<Image> imagesList = ImagesHandler.FetchRangeScore(start, count)
   .Where(m => m.Domain == Database.Enums.ImageDomain.Gfycat);
Debug.WriteLine(imagesList.ToString());
