Most talked-about series in this forum's history?
Every weekly LOST episode thread runs an average of 6 pages within a few hours of the broadcast.
The threads are usually filled with speculation rather than comments like 'this was a "meh" episode' or something along those lines, and that speculation prompts more debate and so on, but it's a show that has engaged viewers like nothing else I've ever seen. It's usually wonderful speculation too, a lot of truly intelligent opinions and ideas, and it makes me wonder if there has ever been a show discussed as much as LOST has in this forum's history?

Nothing compares to Lost when it comes to discussion, as it has been since the pilot episode. I'd say a very distant second was season 1 of Heroes.
Sopranos had good threads, but much of it was filled with incessant griping.
I miss the weekly Arrested Development threads to read about jokes I may have missed the first or even second time. Those threads weren't long but I loved reading the posts the Monday after.

Lost as far as length of threads and overall discussion. Although things like Buffy have tended to have the most 'general, non-episode specific discussion' threads pop up over the years.
