No one hates Glee more than Glee fans.

Maybe you’ve never watched Glee; pure instinct telling you to stay away. Maybe you indulged in a few episodes before deciding Glee was a blight on society. No matter how much you think you hate it, you don’t hate it more than many of the fans. We subject ourselves to the torture and frustration offered weekly by the cruel writers of this primetime teenage dramedy.

I suffer through this show because I love it at the same time. It’s a sick relationship – one that I should have ended long ago, but it’s too late. I’m invested. There is still enough humor, occasional good social commentary and fun in Glee to make me come back after offensive content, lack of respect for the fandom and poor music choices. It’s self-abusive, but everyone has a sadistic streak, right?

Glee is back April 10 after another mid-season hiatus to ruin my life for a few more episodes before the agony ends in the season three finale this May. So what should we expect Tuesday night?

We can expect to find out what happened to Quinn after she got hit by that truck while texting and driving. From what I have been seeing on tumblr, she seems to be perfectly fine. Fear not, the Harvard-bound survivor of teen pregnancy will be twirling around in her Cheerios uniform in no time. Getting T-boned by a truck must not be that bad.

We can expect a lot of talk about the frailty of life, importance of friendship and the group being there for each other in times of crisis, despite most of the characters being self-serving narcissists. This will be proven when someone (hint: Rachel) sings a very important and emotional song she’s been saving for just such a traumatic occasion, because making it all about her is really what everyone needs to gain closure.

Also, everyone’s favorite continuity-challenged character, Blaine Anderson, apparently has an older brother. Cooper, played by Matt Bomer, will come to Lima for a visit and likely makes a mess of everyone’s lives while simultaneously singing and spinning his way into iTunes top sales. The problems with Blaine’s character are vast and varied, and while he remains an empty shell, by offering insight into his family life, maybe he’ll be developed further.

On Tuesday, Glee will ruin another of my favorite songs. I wish the show would stick to the Top 40, because when Glee does lesser-known songs I love, I despair. I have listened to fun., Fleetwood Mac, Keane and Black Kids all be defiled. This week, they will perform “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye, causing me to cry for the death of good music. I don’t want to hear the Anderson brothers sing this song. I don’t want to hear anyone but Gotye, Walk Off the Earth and myself sing this song.

What not to expect April 10: any mention of Dave Karofsky. The writers dropped his storyline within the very same episode he tried committing suicide in favor of pushing the maddening “Finnchel” “we need to get married right now because we crave attention” plot. When Dave reappears in a few weeks, the audience will be forced to remember that unpleasant time he hung himself in his closet onscreen. Emotional? Powerful? More important than everything else? Yes, which is why he will be ignored.

Despite Glee being a circus of terrible TV writing, I’ll be watching on Tuesday, if only to validate my ability to revel in the absurdity of it all.
