Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2.

The first season of Star Trek: Picard has come to an end, and opinions on the finale—and the season as a whole—have run the gamut from glowing praise to bitter criticism. In "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2," we see Soji coming to understand her place in the universe, a tense confrontation between the Federation and the Romulans, and the moving reunion between Picard and Data that leads to an unexpected new beginning.

In this episode of The Line, hosts Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi, Brandon-Shea Mutala, and Justin Oser discuss "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2," the final episode of Star Trek: Picard's first season. We explore the beacon being used to summon advanced synthetic beings, the behavior and motivations of Commodore Oh and her Romulan followers, whether Narek redeemed himself, the emotional interaction between Data and Picard, and what the death and resurrection of Jean-Luc means for his future and the next season of the show.
