Man, Pegs is such a buzzkill! I think my favorite line of the episode, though, was Kelly saying 'shot shot shot!'. It'd be funny if alcohol actually improved Hope's vision.

About the torture: that was honestly one of the most humane ways to torture someone that they could have imagined. I thought for sure that they were going to beat the crap out of him, or use a knife like the Mallers did on Burt. I think it speaks to their characters that they chose a method that, while surely tiring him out, didn't bring about too much bodily harm. Throughout that entire scene I kept picturing that scene in Game of Thrones wherein the Dothraki tie Dany's would-be-assassin behind to a horse and have him run until he dies. Good thing Burt and Riley aren't Dothraki.
