She looked so much like Deanna Troi that I have been thinking of her as a villainous Betazoid, maybe one with lower telepathic capabilities.
What species was Bjayzl?

She was a Gideonite. Because, sure, why not?
Her eyes are almost black (without contacts). Can't get much more Betazoid than that.
It would make sense that a twisted Betazoid would derive pleasure from the things Bjayzl was doing, even if it was also business.

Didn't really see Deanna other than them both being brunette........she's much taller and Iranian I believe.
What if she was a non-telepathic Betazoid? And she was mad she was born that way and started harvesting Borg parts as a way to figure out how to become telepathic without becoming a Borg? Or she was just a human with really dark eyes and bad morals.
I don’t think she looks that much like Troi. I mean, no she’s not blond, but so are a lot of people. And the eyes are really apparently dissimilar to Betazoid pure black in other photos and on camera.
Also, her actions seem less Betazoid to me than human. Betazoids would be able to sense the vileness of their actions and be more easily repulsed by them. Humans, well, open your news app.
I got the Troi vibes too.
And Bjayzl is one of the worst names in the history of trek

I just don't see the logic in Resembles Troi = Betazoid, as Troi's features weren't typical of other Betazoids we saw.
Logic is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers, which smell bad.
Marina, Majel, Harry Groener and Brad Dourif all wore the black contacts. That seems to be the only common feature.
Bjayzl looks so much like Troi (to most of us), that it felt like it couldn't be a coincidence. Luckily she beamed out instead of being vaporized by Seven, so hopefully we'll see her in season 2.
He was mentally ill. Not the same thing.Not necessarily.
Yeah, I see it here. But “Bjayzl” is Persian and Sirtis is half Greek half Brit. I definitely see the difference, hair aside. It’s like casting a white person with a tan to play Middle-Eastern. Doesn’t quite work.
Exactly. A passing resemblance to Sirtis does not a Betazoid make.
Why? They have nothing in common.
I'm sure there is some commonality between peoples of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The Greeks and Persians were all over that region. Even butting heads on occasion.
I’m Greek. I recognize the distinct similarities and differences. I’d never mistake her for Greek. And my first thought of her background appears to have been accurate. I think it’s being played fast and loose with ethnic/species characteristics, and one of the things I liked about Picard are the more sophisticated handling of both. Both Romulans and humans resonated more real for me.
And yet.
Yeah, the actresses look a lot alike.
The hair style, the flamboyant dress and the coloring, all of which had to have been deliberate choices by the writers, made me think of Deanna or her mother Lwaxana. I didn’t think the actresses were necessarily the same ethnicity or all that similar in features, though I wouldn’t have batted an eye if she had been cast as Deanna’s sister. Even the awful name Bjayzl looks like it could possibly be a native Betazoid name, when you compare it to Lwaxana. It’s not a typical name from Earth.
Bjayzl and Betazed do share many letters.
A subliminal message that scratches away at our eyeballs....
