Star Trek: Every Two-Parter Ranked From WORST To BEST

40. Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1, Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2

More Latin is not another copy-and-paste job. In fact, 'Et in Arcadia Ego' is a reminder that, even in paradise, death is ever-present. For Star Trek: Picard's season one finale, the Romulan doomsday of 'Ganmadan' failed to repeat itself. The end of the world (or galaxy) was just the end of Jean-Luc, and the ego death of (a) Data, however fleeting.

The greatest strength of this two-parter is the otherworldly reunion between former captain and former lieutenant commander before Picard 2.0. You'd have to have turned off your emotion chip not to be moved by that. The two-parter's greatest weakness was the self-same duplication, not in ego, but in ships in orbit.
