SEVERANCE Season 2: The Meaning Of The Goats Explained

[@BrainPilot]

Goats are both cute and haunting at the same time. That scream that it was doing in the clip from S1... Jheez.

[@LuchoH838]

please enjoy each goat equally.

If you remember, a guy there said that Ms Casey told him that his outtie enjoys star-gazing. This might be a clue that this man is/was homeless in his outtie version and used to sleep under the night sky.

[@BrainPilot]

Ohhh that's a good hint!

@@bermudabengal this would make a lot of sense, given that they were summoned by the bell. . . This show started started becoming freaky 😬

On the podcast they said it was filmed on a golf course with a tent over it!

[@BrainPilot]

Ah, very cool!

[@agnesblack1974]

The staff at Mammalians Nurturable are people implanted with chips from the goats. Why else would Ms. Casey give a session in a husbandry tank? It's not very large. These are people who were formerly dead or in comas. Goats are the sacrifice for new life, it's blood fertilizing the land for prosperity, growth, etc in many pagan cultures. The goat chip is a base that Lumon is building upon, working on bringing back the original host's memories, hence having Ms. Casey and Mark having sessions and Mark working on Cold Harbor. She is probably operating off of a very base goat personality right now and Mark is "refining" her personality with his work in MDR.

[@linmaslow3806]

I’ve begun to wonder if there was a one goat wrangler to one goat ratio. Maybe a neural link for testing.

[@ionutcristian9650]

I hope they have planned explanations for all these misteries. It would suck if the writers are J J Abrams fans 💀

[@opalskycanvas]

If Helena is taking the place of Helly, she was genuinely surprised by this room, it wasn’t what even she expected

[@kiki__21]

Eh I don’t buy a lot of this. It’s too heavy on speculation and ignores obvious other choices if what you’re saying about their motivations is correct. There are a ton of more intelligent and emotionally attuned animals that would be much easier to get and manage. Dogs or rats are the obvious choice if the qualities you mentioned were important to Lumon. And if they wanted “the closest to humans that they could have gotten without actually getting humans”, then they would have gone with primates, not goats. If the goats are being used as test subjects, it’s for reasons other than what you mentioned. Also, they’re not different departments. The goat guy in season 1 was with all the goat people in season 2.

[@mattgilbert7347]

I just think they're used for animal testing. In the original script for the pilot it was rats, with chips in them. Goats are cuter.

[@hephaestus98]

What if the real reason they asked to see there belly’s was to know if there clones or not because possibly the clones don’t have belly buttons but there just telling them it’s because of the rumour

[@BrainPilot]

That's an interesting theory!

[@mattgilbert7347]

There are no clones in this show.

[@ritatownsend7408]

The goat herder at 5:51 looks like a bedraggled Keanu Reeves lol

[@BrainPilot]

Loool

[@amberjulia123]

I kind of think that the goats are just milk and food that’s provided to feed the severed people who never leave Lumon. Simple as that.

[@emmanniee]

i don’t think the show would make it that simple, it would be quite the letdown to the audience. plus why would the guy from season 1 feeding the babies say “you can’t take them, they’re not ready”?

[@JohnSmith-bq6nf]

Nah there is more to it than that. Used for testing.

[@charliekarlin9907]

One thing I realised is that Ms Casey told Mark S. That she's only lived for a couple hours during her wellness sessions for MDR and following Helly R on that day. But then the goat people said they give her wellness sessions? Could there be multiple Casey's or they erase her memory?

[@melissafraser2190]

If I was a scientist I wouldn't be able to bring myself to test on animals. it takes a certain person who can do that.

[@randyzeitman1354]

The goat people are victims of a bad severance procedure.

[@L2PlayRunescape]

There could be a simpler explanation. Like, there's people that live at Lumon apparently. Maybe they eat goat meat and drink goat milk. Sort of, house-grown food. Like, on Petey's map he drew houses and wrote 'people live here'. One might ask, well why not cows then? Well, they are living in a world slightly different from ours. Maybe cows aren't readily available in their world. Just another theory.

[@mattgilbert7347]

I figure they're like lab animals. Goats instead of rats. Idk about "minds inside them" that doesn't make any sense. I figure that they have chips in them, and that Lumon use them to test various procedures, like causing pain or pleasure. You have to understand this show is a satire of *our world* - it's not about finding even more weird and wacky high concepts. They already have the concept that drives the show; severance chips.

[@Voyager759]

Another explanation circulating the web is that the goats' minds or consciousness have been transferred into humans! This would explain their peculiar behavior-such as all gathering when they hear the bell and displaying almost childlike rhetoric.

[@joeshar.]

Or maybe the other way around. These inner humans think that they are goat, sort of.

[@bermudabengal]

yes! i think these are all "homeless" people who were deceased or deleted by Lumin. then the goats consciousnesses were transferred into them! thats why they are all weird and silent, just wondering around the grassy hills like the other real goats!!!!

[@dustinfenimore3077]

Off subject, but I notice something Rayfield episode 3. If you watch with closed caption, the parking lot scene with Harmony and Halaena. When Helaena talks, it actually says [Helly] before she talks! Don't know if it means anything, or how that would even work! Thought it was weird tho!

[@kwameu2901]

They want to make the world full of goat with human minds

[@Musemay_ta]

This is a direct reference to the 12 (13) apostles! Mark and his two women (Gemma as Lilith, Helly as Maria), trinity.

[@jareds2273]

What have you made of them wondering if Mark and Helena have stomach pouches. Kangaroos are mammals with pouches, where will that take us?

[@TheMicrolearningChannel]

I think they're in the cloning business. These people may be property of Lumon/clones. 2 questions I have that I haven't seen addressed in reviews yet: 1. When they ask if they "have pouches"/to see their bellies - maybe these people do have them? Maybe it's Lumon lore to keep the depts separated 2. Why did that woman say "Don't punish the baby" - like wtf was that about (which isn't the topic of this video but I'm so curious)

[@deepreddawg2510]

So, what's the meaning of the goats?

[@BrainPilot]

That's a good theory!

[@lavishmisfittink3214]

them ppl look like irish and african immigrants not homeless they not from here

[@puspavelai8353]

It reminds of the *herd mentality* that's, usually, I think associated with sheep?😅Conforming to the pattern of behaviour, and no solo decision making either...😉☺

[@caso_ttv]

TLDR; nothing is explained in this video

[@warrick3w881]

Or, or, maybe Limon serves a lot of curried goat for lunch to the other workers up top that are not severed 🤷🏽‍♂️😂 But I think u have a point with the workers in that department being homeless or maybe even prisoners. Some of them look like they were in their severed state for days without end. If they were regular citizens I wonder how lemon would explain them smelling like goats when they leave the severed floor each day 🤔 And based on the set up of that room (where the hell did so many workers come from? The room did not seem that big) I think the scenes we see in the trailers for future episode where they seem to be outside and somewhere cold, I think they mite just be on another floor of lumen

Goat stuff, both last season and this season, is coming close to jumping the shark. I wish the goats weren’t part of the show.
