From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Ironically, despite what I was saying about the "minisode", I was paraphrasing you.

Like I said, I see it fitting. I take my fez off to Moffat for what he tried to do in fitting it in. He did a good job. And it's up to the dedicated fans to intertwine the minisode and the scene in the episode. There are discrepancies, as anyone with eyeballs can see but then again there are discrepancies in singular episodes in Doctor Who, such as in Doomsday where one Dalek presents itself twice.

There are only two things that bother me personally, but before I say them, I'll point out so I don't get destroyed by people as being an egotist- my opinion is just my opinion. This debate isn't concluded because of anything I say haha. And I understand that. I'm no way trying to make your minds up for you. The two things that bother me are: a) the timing/setting issues regarding them running from the Dalek and then facing the Dalek in another corridor, b) the nature of Friend from the Future. As you rightly said, a Tardisode isn't an advert but it kind of behaves similarly to one. What's at the heart of FftF? Throwaway scene without context? Genuine scene from a future episode that hasn't been written yet?

I'm sure we'll work these out very soon.
