No, there was no change to the gravity...what should we see to
show that the gravity was still less? Someone like Garibaldi is still
going to weight about 75 pounds, so he's not about to go around
floating or bouncing, that's pretty solid. I don't see many
13-year-olds walking around like they're on the moon....

One thing we've noted is that there's been some minor
terraforming on Mars over the 175 or so years we've been there. It's
still a hostile climate, but not as bad as it is right now.

"If you had time to spare in the episode (ho ho), you might have
suggested the different ratio of inertial mass to weight by having
character's feet skid out from under them when stopping, bouncing off
walls while turning corners, overbalancing on turns, or catching things
they had dropped two seconds after dropping them. Maybe tossing a CGI
grenade."

Except, of course, this would've looked awfully silly on camera.

BTW, remember that Number One and Garibaldi, as well as Lyta,
have experience with living on Mars, so they would automatically
compensate.
