Well for one thing the aliens gave earth the cure for cancer.
How that works is a gaff because aliens would have different DNA to humans so how could they cure human cancer.. But asume they can.
They then say all the scientists were holding this research back from the public. -

Try to find a parallel to groups of people being derided today.
Think about it for a while; you might find some parallels. Throw in a bit of psychology, notice why the Visitors had scientist-types ostracized, and then apply to the groups of people you've found being derided today. -

I know I'm replying to a seven year old topic, but I find it fascinating. I've often said that people are forgetting what Nazism was like, the death it caused. If you're a Nazi now, you are just slightly bossy. The end of the world is your iPhone battery dying.
They say those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, as you have shown. You don't look to history and see this has already happened, you just don't believe it's possible.
And now as America is in the grip of facism in the form of Trump where hatred of an entire group has been whipped up ask yourself if this is so surprising now. -

Despite easily being summed up as:
"At first they went after scientists, but I didn't care because I was one"
Going after scientists is exactly what intelligent aliens WOULD do in order to subdue a populace that it wants to conquer because, sorry, your local disc jockey is less likely going to be able to find a means to use biological defensive warfare against the invaders compared to a chemist or biologist.
Having seen the pilot from 2009, it introduced far more logistics problems than anything the original screwed up on
