Annon- good thoughts all around, and I think that's what's going on too. But since we really don't know to much about the white martians on this show (seperate universes and all) there may be another reason for this change. I'm certain the team will go to Mars by the end of the season, so I guess we will just have to wait and see... although I am assuming that is the route they will take. The whites are pretty good villians :)
