In fact, the characteristics you describe apply much more to Twin Peaks than to Lost. David Lynch has stated that it was his original intention to <em>never</em> reveal Laura Palmer's killer, and drag the show on for a long time, but they ended up getting pressured by the network to make the reveal in the second season, and then having to cancel it shortly thereafter due to low ratings. I diagnose your prediction as transference - a little bit of projecting from a disappointed fan, perhaps? :) I'll grant you that eventually the same thing may well happen to Lost, but the creators of the show have clearly stated that they do have a complete plot outlined, and there is a predetermined end that will be told when the time comes. Of course, they will keep it going for as long as they can, and they may even decide to change the ending as the story progresses, but they were ready to wrap it up more quickly than they would have liked to if this season hadn't done so well. Personally, I'm hoping that they'll finish it up in a couple more seasons, and then start over with a similar type show, just a whole new setting, cast, and backstory. But, if you'd watch they show, you would see that there are definitely things continually happening and keeping the show very fresh. I'm not sure where you got the idea that nothing was happening, but I think most people who actually watch it would certainly disagree. Nope!

I never watched it, but I'm pretty sure that it was never as popular (ratings-wise) as Lost. I've heard good things about it, though. Lost will be around a lot longer than Twin Peaks.
