I agree! And it looks like they're trying to incorporate Jodi's interpreter (I for get his name >_< ) into the show, as well. So I don't see her going anywhere. At least I really really hope not.
It's like everybody this season has at least two modes which they can switch on and off. Alice is rude for 2 seconds and then goes back to normal. I don't like that. I want her to stay nice and funny Alice. She should be kinder to Max, he is doing a lot to help her out and she doesn't appreciate it.
And yes, Tasha's speech was amazing. I love her deep intensity and to see her go to that level, to show emotion when soldiers are not supposed to, it just wows me. It makes her character seem so real. And I think her acting deserves some kind of award lol.
And with Jenny, she used to be my second fav character, not so much anymore. I can't relate to how cold she is these days. Maybe it's her defense mechanism, I don't know. But she needs to find a new one and fast.
