”Anna, it sounds crazy, but it makes sense. The brothers Grimm experienced the stories in other worlds, and wrote them down.”
“Sara, they traveled through Germany and collected those fairytales.”
That's an interesting little fantasy premise I'm sure someone else had brought up before, either in Hollywood, or in some low-budget film studio in Europe that makes films for the video market which are never seen or heard of again. What if famous writers of successful fantasy novels actually experienced those stories for real and then decided to make a book out of them to cash in, keeping their life experiences a secret? What if George R.R. Martin got sucked through a literary black hole, experienced the nightmare that is Westeros for real, and then made a best-selling novel series out of it and shoveled millions of dollars into his bank account?
Between that and Sara just experiencing hallucinations, or simply just dreaming what she previously experienced, the show could easily explain what is happening to her, and continue the story from there without ever quitting the show's main premise. DEN ANDEN VERDEN could continue going down the fantasy route and have Sara drop herself into the fairytale world via hyperventilation (the fact that it worked at the end of this episode kind of supports her theory, eh?), or the writers could continue having her drop into mini comas every once in a while where her mind and brain continues work on fixing themselves after the accident, by letting her experience the one medicine that could heal her: her love for fairytales.
Meanwhile, Camille sucks as the new Sleeping Beauty, and Sara drops into a bathtub filled with ice water. Was the latter considered a stunt? How much extra money did actress Caroline Vedel Larsen get for submerging almost her entire body in freezing water, while still wearing clothes? Besides that, I would love to know what the characters in the fairytale world have to say about Sara's braces, next time she sticks around for a little longer...
