Not to mention stupid. Why she couldn't scan him to see where the technology was!!!

Unless the borg elements are somewhat "cloaked" in the body that kind of "exploratory surgery" is just imbecilic!!!

Do you realize that exploratory surgery is practically obsolete NOW!!!
There is a simple explanation for that: she wanted to inflict pain and hear his screams. Listen to the way she spoke to him as she was doing it. It felt like one was watching a scene from Criminal Minds.
 
She's been dead twenty-two years.

Yeah, but why make such a highlight of it? I mean, it's sorta morbid.

Or Saw.

Yeah, I mean, I know Trek has been kinda inconsistent with replicators, but I was always under the assumption basically anything could be replicated once its pattern has been scanned.
This has never been true, there has always been things that cannot be replicated, such as latinum and presumably dilithium. They don't seem to to be able to replicate living beings either, so it makes sense that same would apply to machines which have complexity equivalent or greater than living cells.

Hell, just transport a box of Borg junk and keep on making transporter clones. Problem solved.
Transporters are not replicators. Aside (probably inexplicable) freak accidents they cannot duplicate things.

That you can transport something but not replicate it might seem strange, but that is actually scientifically accurate. According to quantum physics teleporting a thing is theoretically possible but creating a perfect copy is never ever possible. It is called non-cloning theorem. So yes, transporters and replicators in Trek generally seem to follow the laws of quantum physics which are strange and counter-intuitive but nevertheless true.
 
I hear people talk of the dead as though they are still alive. I think it depends on the relationship.

I don't see the disrespect. But, mileage and all that.
