different episode. the opening scence was picard meeting secretely with 3 other captains on a planet to discuss the strangeness/acting of starfleet commands, they were moving "people around diffent star bases),etc. sometime later an admiral came on board, and he wanted to show riker something, it was the parasite, when riker saw the parasite, the "infected admiral overpowered him. more or less like the goauld that gives immense strentgh to its host.
apparently they were suppose to be the og borg, by gene roddenberry hated the idea, so they created the borg instead. they were suppose to be a much wide ranging foe. Hence the part where they sent the signal to delta quadrant, which in enterprise show they did the same thing, indicating they were suppose to a larger arc than they were, probably have a large empire(much like the borg)
gene just hated the concept.
sg1 was just that, parasites controlling the hosts, and have a large interstellar empire(we know sg lifted material from trek quite a bit)
Honestly I didn’t know that about sg1, just that it was very much the same vein and the writers were probably fans…
I wonder why Gene didn’t like it. Honestly, how the Borg turned out was pretty good. A little underexplored, but still pretty good as a concept and what was on screen.

you can type tng parasite on youtube.
I kind’ve remember it. I wonder if those parasites are related to the canon trill symbiotes.
