I think they need to rationalize that pretty quickly or this series is going to disappear.
Secondly, I can't imagine Planet Earth and all of its corners of paranoia content with gigantic, menacing ships hovering over every major city.
Hasn't at least one city mayor somewhere, anywhere, come out and said, "Hey, frak off, you're blocking the sun!!!" or at least one President, somewhere, anywhere, said, "You know, we'd all be more happy and less trigger happy if you took that thing and hovered outside the 12 mile limit instead of over Central Park."

I happened to watch the first episode, probably because I saw this thread in the days leading up to it. I watched it, but never bothered to watch it again because of the quoted points.
Call me impatient, but I can't handle leaps of logic for a full week when they're just SO illogical.
Seriously, the first episode has to explain why they're buddying up before killing us. Secondly, yeah, the big ships in the sky blocking the sun. Even the Simpsons knew that that'd be unpopular.
