Thats Inara from Firefly!

Yep.. and Wash (Alan Tudyk) is in it also. Even though from the preview it looks like he is one of the visitors.

Has it been determined how the inclusion of Juliet from Lost as a major character in this show is going to affect her role in the last season of Lost?  Hope she isnt jumping ship.

I'll never forget the scene in the original miniseries when the lady alien swallowed that mouse whole.  The freaked me out big time as a kid.

Yes she will be on both.. but on Lost she will be bumped down to a recurring character.

and Yes back in the day that was some awesome effect when Diana swallowed that guinea pig.

Classic Actors In The Cards For 'V'
New series looks to pay homage to the original show
By ALAN STANLEY BLAIR Aug-11-2009

The upcoming re-imagining of the alien invasion series "V" looks set to bring a modern spin on the classic tale, but that doesn't mean it will forget its roots entirely. According to SciF Wire, the series is considering bringing in some of the show's original stars, and they already have some names in mind.

"Jane Badler has approached our producers and has been in touch here and there," executive producer Scott Peters confirmed.

What's keeping the writers from integrating her into the show though isn't a lack of enthusiasm, but instead the need to give her, and any other original stars who are interested, a pivotal role that will pay the proper respects to the original series.

"I haven't had a chance to actually sit down or talk to anybody face to face, but I would love to," Peters said. "And as we move forward in the writers' room, ... we're just getting up on our ... feet. We start shooting Monday [Aug. 10], and so once we sort of get that first one under our belts, I think we'll be able to take a bit of a sigh of relief and really sort of look a little bit more broad stroke, a little bit more big picture. ... I don't want somebody to just walk by in the background and then feature them for a second. ... I want to find a really interesting role for somebody."

In the 1980's series, Badler played Diana, the leader of the reptilian aliens who offered her friendship for the human race. In secret however, she was plotting to steal the planets water and eat its native population and the new "V" will follow a similar path without becoming a complete remake. In the process through, the series will pay homage by mirroring some of the classic events that viewers of the originals will find hard to forget.

"Whenever we would audition actors or bring writers in to interviews we would ask, 'What do you remember of the show? What's like the big [thing]?' And the big things were the huge ships, the red uniforms, ... eating the hamster and [the] alien baby," he explained. "You know, universally, that was what everyone came up with. It was like our top four or five. So definitely, we are well aware of those moments and looking to put our own little spin on them to tip our hat to the old audience."

"V" premieres Nov. 3 on ABC.

I am very excited for this.  I remeber how I loved the original miniseries when I was a child.  I still to this day collect the novelazations and spin off novel stories that were written.

Coming soon, V. I was listening to a podcast about upcoming sci-fi shows and V got a mention. I've not heard anything about the new series but did suddenly think that it might be relaunched with a distinct difference to the 80's version.

Hostile aliens have been done to death and so I want to make a prediction. I'm gonna predict that the series will have a big twist at the end. The aliens, although hiding thier reptilian ancestry from mankind, will actually be none hostile. The bad guys at the end will actually be the resistance.

This is pure speculation and is based on nothing other than my wandering mind at work. Anyone else want to make a prediction?
