And, of course, this is probably telling of Ken Johnson's flaws. If the Visitors have sealed off the towns and cities and made travel impossible, how's Juliet and Elias get to the VLA? And why isn't the VLA guarded? And wouldn't blasting an SOS blindly into space get picked up by the fleet of motherships? Like...instantly?
