Even keeled is probably the wrong characterization. He perceives himself and thoughtful and fair. I think he tends to fly off the handle initially, as you stated above, but after some thought a cooler head prevails. I felt like his "after some thought" moment was the discussion with Ana Lucia about her possible involvement with the kidnapping. Having said all that, he may not have cooled off from his encounter with the others yet, and is still looking for any reason to light into them.
