Sure would be nice if we had some grenades right about now.

You just reminded me of a favorite line that Mal says after Kaylee's been shot; she's lying in the infirmary and he looks down at her so tenderly and says, "I'm a mean old man."

Given the blood link, I don't think that was absolutely accidental, huh? 
(And I still can't think of Mal as a parental figure.)
Lines from 'Those Left Behind'
Jayne: Uh, Mal..didn't you shoot this guy in the head?
Dobson: No, you moron. The pound of metal grafted to my face, it's purely cosmetic.
Actually, pretty much anything from Dobson in that. He's mad as a bucket of frogs, but articulate with it.

Not really in line with this thread, but I was watching Ariel again today, and was again struck by how I was still surprised at something.
When Mal wrenches Jayne, the camera closes up on Mal, I still get the feeling that this is anti-Mal, the bodysnatchers got him and switched places with him, who is this and what did they do with our captain, the stepford captains are taking over, the demon seeds from Areil have overtaken him, like that. Maybe this is because the first Ep I saw was the end of Ariel, so I didn't have a feel for the concepts of this verse, but even now I wonder if this is some ominous borg run amok pretending to be Mal.
Am I unique with this, or do others sense the same thing? I do look forward to the wrenching of Jayne, and the following scene, but the closeup (going to commercial, I suspect) always catches me off guard, and I get the same wonderment.
Maybe on his soap opera he had an evil twin that he practiced this look for.

No, that face belongs to Sergeant Reynolds, the man who had to make some harsh decisions to ensure the survival of troops under his command.
Mal has had his trust betrayed, and that doesn't sit well with him. So he has to make a decision to get rid of the untrustworthy member of the crew. He's pissed off at the betrayal, at the fact he has to lose a valuable member of the party for an unknown quantity, over a matter of principle. And I don't think he quite realises Jayne's POV at first. (Jayne has a far more limited view of what is in his circle of responsibility, and he's protecting that group by removing the problem - when Mal susses that, he doesn't space the man.)

see this is the first time we see mal truly angry, and his sergeantness comes back, cuz essentially jayne declared war by betraying him. "you turn on ANY of my crew, you turn on me! you did it to me, jayne." he's tryna protect himself, his interests, and his crew. jayne jeopardized all of that by raising attention from the feds. it coulda gone way further than just jayne getting arrested if they found anything out about Serenity, he wanted to make sure jayne knew that.

That's pretty much what I said. Only with spell-checking and punctuation. 
(Just kidding, FLT!)
I think Sergeant Reynolds, pre-Serenity Valley (and pre-Shadow) was quite a different character to Captain Mal. A different sort of angry, for want of a better description.
