Mindy talks about Season 4

SPOILER WARNING! There’s one little spoilerish item about the new season …

BostonHerald.com talks to Mindy Kaling about The Office’s Season 4:

“I think that Ryan is in for it,” Kaling said recently. “I don’t think Kelly would even know where the phrase ‘hell hath no fury’ is from or even know what that means, but we’re going to see that literally enacted upon Ryan, which I think is going to be funny to see. My character is kind of such a sweet ditz, so to see her be scorned and turned into Medea will be really fun and a challenge as an actor.”

   Please more of Sadiq in the office!! You have no idea how cool it was to see a Sikh in there again, plus Michael making the distinction of him being Sikh, not Muslim. Awesome. Please make him a regular!

   Has nobody considered that Amy Adams’ movie career is doing pretty well lately, and therefore is unlikely to return?

   I read somewhere that the actress that plays Carol is Steve Carell’s wife… which would be a reason for them to bring her back. And unlike Karen or Roy, whom I wouldn’t consider “long gone” – we saw them in the last episode, after all! – Carol could more easily be considered “long gone” since she broke up with Michael… ! And we all know how easily Michael gets distracted when a woman shows interest in him… the whole Jan-Michael-Carol triangle could get pretty hilarious

   re: 57

   Mindy said it’s someone we think we’ve seen the last of. We’ve been given no reason to think we’ve seen the last of Packer. He’s an on-going now and then character.

   Hope we definitely get to see Kelly’s parents again!

   We may have never seen him, but could it be Gould? That would add a nice wrench in the already screwed up Jan/Michael works.

   I’d say either Roy or Karen. Most likely Roy, but if Karen were to just show up once in a while, that would be cool.

   I don’t know if anyone’s said this, but what about Craig, the guy from the Albany branch who exposed Michael and Jan at the Valentine’s Day meeting? I think he’d be an interesting character to throw in the mix.

   But no, Todd Packer should never be a regular. Everyone’s quick to hate on Roy and Karen, but the writers have done a great job at making them fully fleshed out characters that we can’t completely hate. Packer is the one character that deserves to be hated on the most. He’s just pure bile. He should only be on the show maybe once or twice at 30 second increments, and even that is stretching it.

    Great suggestion. I mean, I’m 80% sure it will be Roy, and that would be awesome if he got caught up with Dwangela! They’ve been hinting on a Angela crush on Roy forever! And don’t forget Angela was Roy’s choice for “Who would you do?” in “The Fire.”

    I think it’s Katy. I’m probably wrong but in “The Job” Karen and Jim cross the street after they were discussing moving to NY together, and there’s a person calling a cab- she has to be Katy, she looks just like her. Also Ryan did ask Jim about Katy in “E-mail Surveilance” if they were together that’d be interesting.

    I like the person that said Todd Packer…why don’t more people think it is him? He has to be amusing to write for.

    You guys have missed one Office heavyweight that changed the show forever:

    OMI VAIDYA – none other than Sadiq, the IT Tech Guy.

    If “Sadiq” is brought back in S4, the show will be complete once again. God Bless the turban.

    Karen and Ryan together. Oh my gosh, that would be perfect!

    A great interview from someone we don’t hear enough from! I love the idea that Mindy and BJ “squabble” at the writer’s table as much as on-screen. I hope she keeps him in line!

    P.S. My vote is for Roy and I think it will be great!

    my prediction —

    it has to be Karen — I would imagine that Karen losing Jim is going to make her move to NYC and leave Scranton– you think she is long gone — and then she shows up in episode 6 —
    my fantasy is that she is now dating Ryan

    BeckySue- I think she means Medea in terms of the Greek myth of Medea and Jason, which is from where the phrase “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” originated. but tyler perry is amazing too!

    I’m pretty sure David Denman said on his myspace page that he was “glad to be back” in season four. someone help me out if i’m wrong. But it’s gotta be Roy.
