i don't think they will. the thing i think
feels the same as Lost is that A. it's a bunch of people who normally wouldn't associate with one another who are
thrown together by a bizarre circumstance. & 2. you actually give a crap about em. all the shows that are trying to be Lost right now are missing the mark, cuz they don't take the time to develop the characters enough to make you care about them. TWD is nothing like Lost, story wise. it just feels like Lost to me, cuz i really care about the characters, & i need to know what happens to them.
i loved Lost, but the last episode kinda blew it for me. my husband had the same gripe you have though, so i totally get your point.
