I think ancient and weak points to whoever created the Borg or their progenitor species.
Overwhelming darkness? If they were already so terrible, they wouldn't need to create the Borg. And again, the Borg themselves say they wish to raise the quality of life for all species. They weren't dark lords in their tower in Mordor kind of villains.
Sauron confirmed.
I missed the name. Post it under a spoiler tag. Also, not entirely sure closed captioners have the pay grade to "know". Im assuming they have to guess.
Episode 3 subtitles called Vadic's crew changelings before the reveal at the end of the episode.
So they do know things. It was removed a couple days later after Terry got wind.
Captioners work off of scripts and generally adapt what is on screen to what was given to them.

Ex-GF was a closed captioner for NBC for a while. They sign NDA's and are required to omit certain things until past a set point. Sometimes mistakes are made.
Very cool. Wasn't trying to throw shade. Made a bad assumption that they had to make educated guesses at some points.
No shade detected or assumed comrade
Geordi: I should've seen this coming!
Beverly: What are you talking about Geordi?
Geordi: Remember when the Enterprise had a sudden Borg infiltration in its systems that required a complete system wide purge and a baryon sweep to clear? And we hadn't fought or encountered any Borg in the time preceding that, and never figured out quite what happened.
Beverly: And?
Geordi: I've been going over reservation records and the like and that incident happened immediately after Jean-Luc spent a... really, really long time in the holodeck!

Why would the Borg be involved in cloak-and-dagger schemes? They usually just relied on brute force and were up front about their objectives. Why would they even care about Frontier Day?
Perhaps they are being subtle because they are weakened right now.
Because if Starfleet saw them coming they would inflict a hell of a lot of damage on the Borg.
Someone who saw the episode said it "wasn't what most people thought". Considering most people here are insisting it's the Borg...
I hope you're right.
The lack of answers and the rising amount of questions have me feeling like:
Here's another thing to keep in mind. In BOBW, they brought Locutus on board the Enterprise. Troi was then put in front of him with the specific task of focusing on him with all her Betazoid powers to sense if there was any Picard in there. In short, she knows what Locutus "feels" like. If she sensed that in Jack, she'd outright identify it as such instead of going on about an "overwhelming darkness".
Shaw's Trekbbs username confirmed.
