Completely agree with Bwburke94.

As for what Moffat originally intended, I'm sorry to say but we do not know it and are not likely to learn without mind reading. His words can at best be understood that he wanted us to believe it was a two-parter. His main goal in every interview is to increase the viewership, not bare his soul to us. There is absolutely no reason to believe his post-episode interviews more than his pre-episode interviews, which are full of misdirection.

Just to be clear, this is not a critique of Moffat, just an acknowledgment that his goals are not necessarily aligned with those of this wiki.
