As far as I see it, ''Friend from the Future'' wasn't created to be put into an episode (which is why one shouldn't see it as a deleted scene).

As far as I see it, Friend from the Future wasn't created to be put into an episode (which is why one shouldn't see it as a deleted scene). It instead was a "Special" that was created as a stand-alone, meant to be enjoyed as its own thing. Thus it isn't a "trailer" or a "preview."
The eventual decision to make it part of the final story, and to even tell the fans "that's where it fits. You can all sleep at night now."
You could see FftF as the A Town Called Mercy to The Pilot's The Power of Three. While I'm not against noting minor discrepancies in dialogue and pacing, I think it's highly irrelevant to these forums.
Covering this story would be just as easy as covering a story from The Eight Doctors or Time & Time Again. I really don't think it would be a huge trouble to deal with at all -- if anything, it's less intrusive than those stories.
