What's the purpose of Grudge

[Garak234]

Given Discovery's and Books love of alien creatures and the importance of Grudge to Book Grudge should have been a sentient cat possibly past queen. Instead Grudge is used as a soundbite with the camera to "look at the cute cat." If Grudge wasn't given a character reveal by this point in season 4 will she ever?

What’s the purpose of Spot?

What is the point of a cat seems like some kind of Zen koan. if my cat could answer he'd probably say his IS the point or something compelling about Tuna. I think Grudge is just a cat that Book travels with.

Do you have pets? If so, this answers your question.

 

[Cyrus]

Same purpose as Spot and Porthos.

 

[shapeshifter]

I would be down with a shapeshifting being that disguises itself as a cat to return to Star Trek.

What's the point of any pet?

then again, if i had been told that the cause of the Burn was an emotionally overloaded Kelpian child, last season, I would have .. actually I'm used to Trek enough I don't know what I would have done. Grudge is the Anomaly.

To out live it. Get another pet and out live it. ...

get a parrot.

 

[shapeshifter]

And have a farkking drone under the same roof?!

 

[valkyrie013]

Get a tortoise.. Outlive you..

Cats purpose is to be a loveable asshole..

 

[Starbreaker]

It's a pet. To have it be some kind of sentient creature with an ulterior motive now would be dumb.

Grudge's purpose is to be the Nibbler of Discovery. Most likely, we will get the big reveal in one of the upcoming seasons. I imagine it will be similar to Nibbler's reveal in Futurama. She is a Queen, after all.

I feel like having it be some ridiculous tentacle monster or sapient being like the cat in Captain Marvel would be more befitting the kind of low effort cliché we have come to expect from Discovery, and that a nice, simple, mundane, normal cat without any bells and whistles (well, maybe a bell) in the vein of Spot and Porthos would be the better option.

We need not always go over-the-top. Sometimes a cat is just a cat, and that's okay.

A cat's purpose is to eat, sleep, demand hugs and scritchies, and purr when those demands are satisfied.

 

[Orac]

To kill pests on the ship.

Ha! I've been expecting Grudge to become Captain Marvel cat ever since she was introduced. Happy to continue being proved wrong.

I’m pretty sure she’s a mirror universe cat.

 

[F. King Daniel]

I'm still thinking Isis-like reveal. And that it's Guinan.
