Two severed arms dangling from shackles is a solid symbol to represent the lack of restraintKurt Sutterhas shown (both in narrative and violence) since around the third season ofSons of Anarchy. The scene in question here shows a decrepit old man being tortured. After two acts of brutality on this poor bastard, the Castle Windsor executioner draws a wicked long sword and severs his arms. We don’t see the actual act, but the swooshing of the blade and the old man’s cries of agony make it far worse in our imagination....
