The part I had trouble believing is that the parts were that valuable. I mean I guess “nanites”.

That would be even darker, imagine her getting off being able to feel the pain she's inflicting, yeesh.
A psychopathic Betazoid? Hmmm
Janeway needs to show up. Her pretending to be like Red from Orange Is the New Black in on a heist with Eye-Patch Picard and his horrible accent. Comedy Gold right there. 
Betazoid females have brown eyes.
I don't know what color eyes Bjayzl had, but I'm positive that the producers and costumers were oblivious to the eye color of Betazeds: it was Sirtis who had to inform them about the black contacts, and because they were short of time, Sirtis had to provide the contacts that she used in the films.
That's some sloppy planning!
I posted this in another thread, but we could have both Janeway and Picard in eye patches.Janeway needs to show up. Her pretending to be like Red from Orange Is the New Black in on a heist with Eye-Patch Picard and his horrible accent. Comedy Gold right there.
So does the Persian actress who played Bjayzl. In fact, almost black iris color like Betazoids actually have, like the contacts Marina and Majel wore.
Betazoids all having black eyes is one of those things that I never would have noticed if I hadn't read about it. Can't blame the current showmakers for not catching that.
I'm not so sure about that. Granted, TOS is fifty-plus years old now, and I may be biased in that it's the Trek show I personally grew up on, but TOS is still very visible, and possibly more so than the latter-day series. Heck, just the other day I saw a Trek tribute magazine (with Kirk and Spock on the cover) on sale in the check-out aisle at our local grocery store--which is about as mainstream a milieu as one can imagine.
And even today, the lion's share of merchandise--Hallmark ornaments, Little Golden Books, etc.--tend to feature the TOS crew rather than the latter-day casts. And I suspect that the proverbial man on the street is more familiar with Suu and Uhura and "Beam me up, Scotty" than Troi or Geordi.
Not that I've conducted an extensive survey.
I think it is hard to have general public consensus knowledge on pop culture things.
Honestly, at times, it seems like some fans think the Federation should be like that planet where alien spores make everybody nice and pleasant and "evolved" all the time, or maybe Landru's world, or some other creepy, artificial "utopia" from TOS.
Heck, in the last few weeks alone, I've seen people insisting that the "utopian" future of the 24th century should not even include schoolyard scuffles, pushy reporters, swearing, or incurable diseases!
It seems to be that paradise had become rather extreme.
She kind of reminds me of Persis Khambatta when she had hair.
We already know there is some interest out there, since one of the reasons the Romulans set up The Artifact was to get their hands on all of the former drones' Borg parts. If there is that kind of interest officially, then there's probably a pretty big black market too.
There are other kinds of love, some of which are ripe in this relationship. Parental, mentor, friendship. There’s no reason something as cheap and obvious as a love affair was necessary.
So that tool the Red Bolian hologram was holding at the start of the Episode? It's based off a prop from TNG/DS9/VOY

IMDb is as trust worthy as Wikipedia without sources.
Some Ferengi went out of their way to alter the programming of a hologram of Reginald Barclay just to get their hands on Seven of Nine's nanoprobes from clear across the galaxy. Borg technology has been a hot commodity for at least 21 or 22 years at this point and people as well as alien races are willing to go out of their way to acquire it.
who said that love affair was cheap?
