Consider the House of the Undying sequence in season 2. You can't honestly tell me that you weren't left disappointed with that.

If you are comparing it to the source material, I can see your point.
But that is true of most adaptations, especially in the Sci-fi/fantasy genre.
Take it for what it is, accept what it can't ever be, and enjoy.
