I doubt they'd have a shield over the building. I can't see the smarts in it.
Nothing says alien technologiy like a huge energy shield appearing over the pentagon. It's hardly in the middle of nowhere, it would light the place up like a christmas tree "Hi world, we have top secret conspiracy stuff going on here, oh and we have super advanced alien technology".

Liked
-The Chloe Moments with the woman from her old life that just didn't get it.
-Couple of Woah! plot moments with the ceiling collapsing and the gore of a severed leg
-French's character had interesting thoughts on "the signal" and how earth would react to it.
-Big plus for forcing the FTL and having Varo try to explain stuff very fast.
That's about it. These types of episodes are not why I watch the show but it was still entertaining.I love SGU and I even like the other two SGU prequel shows

So we have plenty of examples right here on Earth of how the LA should be. One of the few differences is that the LA is made up of thieves and smugglers, so appears to be more of a crime syndicate, rather than a family clan. Warlords in the Middle East are generally more clan and family oriented, with crime on the side to support themselves.
Actually it not the Somali warlords who are behind the pirate attacks. It local fisherman who loss out to other countries fishing vessels who raped Somali seas of fish stocks as they were ungovern by catch quotas like many other seas, especially the European Union control fisheries where many of these vessels originated from, many of them were Spanish and Portuguese.
"Today's pirates are mainly fighters for Somalia's many warlord factions, who have fought each other for control of the country since the collapse of the Siad Barre government in 1991."
Look at the drug cartels in Mexico do,they attack an kill anyone who get in there way government officials, army, intelligence services, civilians. The Lucian alliance are much close related to those guys than Somali pirates or Taliban.
An the Lucian alliance is not fighting Earth because of what earth is now they are fighting earth for what earth is becoming a galactic super power with technology and weapons that substantially out classed there own. Who is rapidly expanding its operations and got access to even more advance technology. They may not stopped little ol warlords just yet but they the most likely to form a galaxy wide government in the short term.
Maybe there is a good reason, but at this point, I doubt it. I can pretty much tell because they never showed us any of that supposed "intel" they were getting from the LA people on board. We keep hearing about how it's good stuff, but how can it be, when it was also clear that none of them knew anything? What exactly were the LA people saying? Varro pretty much said it: they didn't know anything. Which puts the lie to the supposed "good intel" they were getting.
It's the elephant in the room no one wants to address, and bad writing, plain and simple. And I don't want it to be bad writing; the SG series has come up with several good stories over the years, so if I'm critical of this, it is because I want them to do better, because I know they can do better.
