I dunno. I mean, when Adric died, Five felt bad for a couple minutes and then he was all "It's okay, it's what he wanted." (um, NOT REALLY. *sniffles*) and there was practically no emotional fallout.
Of course, one of the things I like about the new series when compared to the classic series (which, don't get me wrong, I love as well) is that the new series deals with emotional fallout... I'd say better, but it's really that it deals with the fallout at all, whereas the classic series just... didn't, really.
One of the main reasons why I am so excited for Donna to travel with the Doctor is that I think she just will not tolerate the level of mopeyness and angsting that Martha let the Doctor get away with. I think her presence and her attitude are going to make a lot of progress towards forcing the Doctor to take a good hard look at himself.
