I've seen several of the older episodes, mostly the ones with Tom Baker, and I enjoyed them. Jason is on a mission to sort out the best ones for rental from Netflix.
Anyway, romantic interest aside, I thought it was out-of-character for the Doctor to just hop off and abandon Rose and Mickey on a spacecraft that had no means of moving, especially when neither of them could control the TARDIS to leave. It was just... odd and rather off-putting.
I didn't hate Reinette. I actually liked her a great deal. I thought she was a very good character--smart, witty, brave, assertive, etc. I did think the attraction between her and the Doctor was slightly forced and rather quick, specifically on the Doctor's behalf since he had known her for all of a few minutes. And I'm not saying that as a Doctor/Rose 'shipper because my 'shipiness for those two only extends to Nine, not Ten. I just thought some of the actions of the Doctor in that episode flew against the character they had established in the previous episodes.
