yep, what you remember from the books was in the books and not the show.

howevever

there kinda was the Dark Dimension-ish.... a little bit (but not really), if you (kinda) count the prison worlds.

but the rest of it from the book that you remembered - well, the whole Return series would have been cool in the show, actually.

i've read (and own) all the books.
