I confess I liked it a lot better after going through it like this, but I'm glad it did the same for you.
I actually thought he sounded really bitter in this, which, considering Ten is all "let me help you, we could travel together" and then RUNS AWAY AND DISAPPEARS before the Master really has a chance to respond, which makes it all look a little. Faked to escape? Mmm?
Oooh, yes, that's a good point. I have this occasional tendency to assign old school!Master(s) motivation to Simm!Master, but that's not always the right impulse -- I like your reading there a lot. It really was more lashing out in anger than just idly poking at the Doctor.
I ran the Doctor's speech about the War through a couple of times, but it probably is Meanwhiles; it makes a lot more sense that way. *edits accordingly*
Poor Master. It's so hard to figure out what the winning side is when there are Time Lords everywhere. XD
