if Control is the progenitor of the Borg, it's doing a pretty terrible job of that. it nukes every sentient being in the galaxy into oblivion...that's sort of makes the whole growing a species via assimilation thing kind of tough.
not every instance of nanobots taking over a person/system is Borg related. I recall at least one TNG episode where the Enterprise got sick with a nanite infection. seems to be a pretty common path for technological miniaturization.
as for Leland, him getting freaking eyeball stabbed while trying to do the power authorization is going to haunt me every time I visit the optometrist. I'm not sure he should have even survived that at all.
