At least before he ran off to find the Master, I thought his entire attitude screamed "Fuck the rules!" and that the line about Good Queen Bess was meant as another example of him no longer following his own rules or anyone else's.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What was the exact line?
::googles::
Something like ... “Got married! That was a mistake. Good Queen Bess. And let me tell you, her nickname is no longer, er, anyway...”
Savvier minds than mine have pointed out that this was maybe why she was mad at him at the end of The Shakespeare Code.

That's funny - I hadn't made that connection, but didn't she then set up Torchwood because she was mad at the Doctor?

That was Victoria, not Elizabeth.

I think Queen Victoria set up Torchwood because she was mad at him after Tooth and Claw.
His track record with the female royals--not good.

Oh, right. (I've been posting and reading while arguing with my bank and mortgage company. Grr. Do not harass me when I'm trying to *give* you money.)

I thoroughly enjoyed EoT. Loved seeing John Simm again as the Master. Loved every scene with Wilf and the Doctor. Heart is kind of breaking for him. When he saw Donna, regenerating is like dying, won't travel with anyone, avoided the Ood until he couldn't anymore. Poor noodle. Very much looking forward to Part II.
James Bond is a Time Lord. Who knew?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Just got caught up. Not sure I have thinky yet.
James Bond is a Time Lord. Who knew?
You know, that might just explain a few things. Of which the constantly changing appearance is only one.

I realized on rewatch today that it wasn't the Doctor hearing tje drums mindmeld that got to me; it was the Master attacking the Doctor, rushing up to catch him as he fell, ad then realizing what he was doing and letting him fall.
