Earlier we brought you promo photos from episode 1x02 of V and now ABC has released the first 8 minutes of the show, which we have for you below.
In the video below you'll be introduced to each of the main characters and then see the V spaceship first appear over New York City. They jump right into the action on this show. I've seen the entire pilot and I really enjoyed it. I haven't seen the original V series, but I'm liking the reboot.
Here's the official show description:
"V" is a re-imagining of the 1980's miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race. Simultaneously appearing over every major city in the world, the Visitors (or V's) promote a message of peace. Through their generous offer to share advanced technology, the V's build a following that may actually hide a more malevolent agenda, one that twists a very deep component of human nature: devotion.
While the world quickly becomes fascinated with the V's and their link to wonders just beyond the reach of human understanding, FBI Counter Terrorist Agent Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell) discovers a secret hidden beneath the skin of every V - a secret that may threaten the lives of everyone close to her. Yet for her teenage son, Tyler (Logan Huffman), the V's are his ticket to something big and hopeful -- a new chance for mankind to unite in common goals.
To Chad Decker (Scott Wolf), a career-hungry news anchor, his exclusive interview with Anna (Morena Baccarin), the leader of the V's, is crucial to his dominating the airwaves. Also unsure about the Visitors is Father Jack (Joel Gretsch), a priest questioning his faith in the wake of the Visitors' arrival. Seeking answers outside the church, Father Jack discovers there are other dissidents who believe the Visitors are not who they say they are, including Ryan Nichols (Morris Chestnut), who is faced with his own life-altering decision when the V's show up. Never has there been more at stake -- it truly is the dawning of a new day.

If you haven't seen the original series, do yourself a favor and grab them via netflix. I own ALL of the original V stuff (series, miniseries, movies, etc), and, though cheesy by today's standards, it is definitely classic 80s material.
I saw this video myself and love it. It's a bit more drawn out than the original, but that's ok. Of course being a Whedon fan, it's always good to see his actor(s) in work again, so that was a definite plus.
Will this make it? I hope so. With the changes ABC's made to it, it's rather hard to hold out hope, but I'm trying to do so ;)

They really skipped any sense of setup before the alien ships arrive. Interesting move.
