'Hawaii Five-0' packs Comic-Con

The most interesting thing about the panel for CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" is how many people were there.

The midsize ballroom was absolutely packed, a great sign for a new CBS crime drama hoping to draw younger viewers. Based on the fan questions, a large chunk of the audience were drawn to the event based on their love of "Lost" and "Battlestar Galactica" (Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park are in the cast), but still ... whatever works.

The panel also announced that the synth-heavy theme song on the show's pilot, thankfully, won't continue to series and will instead re-record a theme that's closer to the original.

"I'm really happy to be on a show that has a theme song," quipped Kim.

The producers said that, unlike in the original series, the characters played by Kim and Park will have plenty of screen time, including stand-alone episodes built around their characters.

Also, though it's an episodic show, producers left room for certainly mythological elements to be built into the series that will evolve.

"From the begging we thought this was an episodic story we were going to tell [but we also] always saw this as the beginning of something," said executive producer Peter Lenkov. "We keep adding to the mythology of this show week to week."

One fan asked Park: "Will we see you more in bikinis?"

"I don't know if i have a much of a choice," she said. "I want the guys in bikinis."

"In the second episode McGarrett is coming out of the water after swimming," offered exec prod Roberto Orci.

When asked the inevitable question about the "Lost" ending, Kim said, "It's nice to be able to talk about 'Lost' without feeling like there's a muzzle about to be put around my mouth. As much as the science fiction elements were interesting the heart has always been more interesting…when the characters found peace for themselves, that was the moment i was looking for. As far as Jin and Sun go, I felt like the two of them were bound to have a tragic ending ... there was something beautiful and poetic about them giving up their lives for each other."
