Zoe would have only worn the dress if it had more "slink".

I agree. Also, this is Joss who's writing it, and we all know he isn't the least interested in being normal. Besides, it was hilarious.

When he goes into the training house.

In terms of whose dress it was, judging by the style I'm thinking it was one borrowed from the settlers.

Actually it looked more to me like he pulled a drapery off a window somewhere.

I know his answer is "tactics", but then why not put Jayne in back of the wagon?

Is it a clever distraction, or Mal just being..er..Mal? I'd really like to hear people's thoughts on what the reasons were, and I can't find a thread that addresses this.

You can't open the book of Mal's life and jump in the middle. Like woman, he's a mystery. :)

my theory has always been that he was actually "protecting" Zoe she was not immediately a target hiding in the back if the badguys shot first and asked questions later.

Jayne not so much, take the movie for example after the heist, "You want I should have dumped the girl, or jayne?.. well Jayne maybe.." Notice how dumping zoe never figured into that equation (yes she was driving). I think its a continuation of the protection he tried to provide in the war.

Plus, would you really want Jayne somewhere you could not keep an eye on him?

If you watch Mal, he always takes the most dangerous job for himself in his own odd way protecting his crew by throwing himself at the biggest dangers.
