Star Trek: Picard Season 3 E05 Promo: It's Worse Than Jean-Luc Thought

With a new episode hitting this Thursday, here's a look at the action-packed promo for Paramount+'s Star Trek: Picard S03E05 "Imposters."

If last week's episode of Paramount+'s Sir Patrick Stewart-starring Star Trek: Picard didn't give you enough of a sense of just how huge the danger that our heroes face this season is, an early sneak peek & preview images for S03E05 "Imposters" (directed by Dan Liu and written by Cindy Appel) definitely helped in that department. But it's the promo that was officially released earlier today that dials up the danger to a "Spinal Tap"-loving eleven. Here's a look at what we know so far about this week's chapter (as well as a look behind the scenes at last week's episode):

A Look at Season 3 Episode 5 "Imposters"

As the episode overview S03E05 "Imposters" alludes to, the gang finds themselves on the wrong side of Starfleet as Jean-Luc (Stewart) "struggles to uncover whether a prodigal crewman from his past has returned as an ally or an enemy hellbent on destroying them all." Chills… right? Meanwhile, Raffi (Michelle Hurd) & Worf (Michael Dorn) journey further down the Starfleet conspiracy rabbit hole to get to the truth in time. And on a side note, utilizing the Changeling was an especially nice touch in an already impressive season. Here's a look at what's still to come with the official promo for "Imposters," followed by a look back at the preview images that were released as well as the preview from last week's edition of The Ready Room:

And in the following preview clip (beginning at the 31:47 mark) from Wil Wheaton's The Ready Room, we see Raffi's (Michelle Hurd) and Worf's (Michael Dorn) training session gets interrupted by an incoming encrypted Starfleet Intelligence message from Worf's handler. In addition, Todd Stashwick (Captain Shaw) joins Wheaton to discuss his lifetime of "Star Trek" fandom and his return to the franchise to play the U.S.S. Titan's commanding officer, Liam Shaw. Also, viewers get a look at the history of the Changelings, learn the science facts behind the science fiction in this week's episode, and more:
