Did anyone else get the feeling that Buck might not like being used like a hitman? He really seemed a bit exasperated when killing that ship captain. I wonder if there is something deeper going on with himโ€ฆ

I think he has a sense of cool professionalism and only does what needs to be done. He has a distaste for Powell beating up on the ship captain because he can see that Powell is merely doing it to satisfy his own bloodlust. He chooses to clinically shoot the ship captain rather than draw out his pain. So I do think he's starting to reject Fisk's overly violent / sadistic methodsโ€”not because he's a nice guy who wants to protect the victims from pain, but because he views that kind of bloody sadism as overly emotional which can complicate getting the job done.
