Problem is going to be:
Hodors
Readers
Crackpottery
-is just not going to mix. I'm not saying you have to have 2 different threads. You can limit it ostensibly to just the material shown. But, any Hodors who participate in the thread might have to accept they might be exposed to "knowledge" and Readers/Maesters might have to accept their smug asses don't know everything, the show is just different and they should shut up about stuff not on the show.
The problem with the former is that, collectively (not every individual Hodor mind you), they just fear knowledge and theories and the latter, through no fault of their own, have the 2 stories jumbled up in their brains and it becomes difficult to separate.
Having said all that, as a "hybrid" (I literally just finished ADWD 2 days ago) GoT fan - in that I started life as a Hodor, caught up to the show ever so briefly and just finished the source material after the end of Season 10, I was already considering a rewatch, so I am willing to participate in such a thread. However, I believe such a thread will be too difficult and cumbersome to maintain for the entire rewatch schedule. Don't let my pessimism dissuade you.
