However, no Star Trek series has ever definitively answered every question that it has raised, nor should it. We now know the impetus for the synthetic attack on Mars, the purpose of the Admonition, and even what the show's hauntingly cryptic opening credits sequence really means (anyone who called "Picard is going to become a synthetic" early on, well done). It's a question with several possible answers, and one of many which was answered, more or less, by the end of Picard's first season. There are other interpretations of the title, of course, including how the utopian Coppelius Station opened a portal to literal universal destruction, or how Data ( Brent Spiner) finally achieved his ultimate wish of becoming human by embracing - and even requesting - his own mortality.
In "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2," the erstwhile Captain Jean-Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart) sacrifices himself in order to save all life in the universe, both synthetic and organic, entering willingly into death in order to achieve his vision of peaceful coexistence. So a more apt contextual translation might be, "even in paradise, there is Death," a phrase that felt ominous and mysterious going into the Picard finale, but now makes a sort of bittersweet sense.
"Et in Arcadia Ego," the title for the two-part finale of Star Trek: Picard's epic first season, translates to "even in Arcadia, there am I." The common interpretation of the phrase is that "I" refers to Death, and that "Arcadia" is a version of paradise.
