Star Trek: Discovery S05E08: "Labyrinths" Images, Overview Released

Check out the image gallery and official overview that were released by Paramount+ for Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Episode 8: "Labyrinths."

On last week's edition of Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation) on The Ready Room, Elias Toufexis (L'ak) and Eve Harlowe (Moll) discussed what went down in "Erigah." At around the 11:20 mark in the video above, Toufexis also introduced a preview for this week's chapter of Star Trek: Discovery – S05E08: "Labyrinths" (directed by Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour and written by Lauren Wilkinson & Eric J. Robbins). In the clip, Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew are about to do some serious searching – but not before they learn the rules of the house… rules that they really need to adhere to. Now, we have three official preview images from this week's chapter – along with this official logline/overview: "When Captain Burnham is trapped within a 'mindscape' designed to test her worthiness to retrieve the Progenitor's powerful technology, Book, Rayner, and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery must hold off the Breen long enough for her to escape."

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Previews & Overviews

The fifth and final season of Paramount+'s Star Trek: Discovery finds Captain Burnham (Martin-Green) and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well … dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.

"I can hardly believe that this mind-blowing journey with 'Star Trek: Discovery 'is ending," said Sonequa Martin-Green in a statement released with the initial news. "I'm astoundingly blessed by God to have played Captain Michael Burnham and to have taken part in a legacy alongside an extraordinary cast, phenomenal crew, and remarkable writing team. To our most supportive partners at CBS Studios and Paramount+, who insisted on making television history, I'm deeply grateful. I'm also deeply grateful for the creative collaboration with our showrunners Michelle Paradise and Alex Kurtzman, as well as Olatunde Osunsanmi and the incomparable team of executive producers. I will never forget how it felt to stand together as a show family, cradling the heirloom of 'Trek' with all those from the franchise at large and with the fans. The fans welcomed us into their hearts as we launched a new iteration of 'Trek' and an entire entertainment platform, and we'll never forget it. 65 episodes later, here's to the entire company of Star Trek: Discovery, to the show and its fifth and final season, to its beloved fans, and to all those who envision a better future. Let's fly… "

"As lifelong fans of Star Trek, it has been an immense honor and privilege to help bring 'Star Trek: Discovery' to the world," said EPs and co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise in an extended statement when the news was first announced. "The 'Trek' universe means so much to so many – including us – and we couldn't be prouder of everything Discovery has contributed to its legacy, particularly with representation. If just one person sees themselves, or the possibilities for their future, in a new way because of Discovery, then we think we'd have made Gene Roddenberry very proud."

The duo continued, "Of course, there would be no Discovery without Sonequa Martin-Green and the extraordinary team of artists, both in front of and behind the camera, who have brought this show to life. Their passion and determination to make every episode special has been deeply inspiring; so too has their love and support for one another and their genuine love for 'Star Trek.' Discovery has truly become a family over the years – and we couldn't be more grateful to be part of it."

"To the fans around the world, thank you for joining us on this incredible journey," Kurtzman & Paradise added. "Your love for these characters and your excitement for every episode, every season, has meant the world to us. We can't wait for you to see what we've been working on for this final season; we appreciate your patience in the meantime and trust us when we say it'll be worth the wait. We love you all! LLAP"
