Creepy little garbage eaters

They certainly seem to be hinting that, but it will annoy me if it's not actually Michael Dorn. You can't use that well-known a voice and then just go "nope it was someone who sounds completely different disguising their voice to sound like Worf somehow"

It's not the first time, they've used that trick though. Tony Todd's arguably an even more well known voice.

They're doing it for all costumed villains now, after people worked out that Harrison Wells was Reverse Flash in S1 of The Flash by removing the post-processing.

If you're just casting "actual villain's disguised voice" you could go for someone no one's heard of before though. Michael Dorn may not be in high demand these days, but there are certainly a lot of people in the audience who are going to go "that's Worf" as soon as they hear him. There's two kinds of misdirection in TV; The good kind is where you do something that seems relevant but turns out not to be but can be explained by other facts also in evidence and there's the kind where you give the audience an obvious clue and then just pretend you never did it, and that second kind is bullshit.

If you give your mysterious villain a recognisable voice and then just go "That guy who it obviously was because you all recognised his voice? It wasn't him." That's bullshit.

They also revealed that Harrison Wells was a bad person in like Episode 2 of the Flash though. It's not like him being Reverse Flash was a big surprise.

It's not a lot of people who'd recognize him. The guy's from Star Trek, let's not be silly.

I had no idea he was voiced by someone famous. Like, I know who "Word" is but I doubt I'd recognize the actor if he knocked on my door.

But also I didn't care that Zoom wasn't Tony Todd or that Savitar wont be Jigsaw.

Its really weird to learn that the reason they employ "guest voices" is that some fans are crazy and do audio editing on the show.

You ever heard Chipmunks music slowed down so the voices sound normal? It's surprisingly good

"Surprise, muthafucka."
I've watched almost every episode of ST:TNG, the Dominion War seasons of DS9, every Star Trek movie, recognized Michael Dorn as Caliban in Justice League right off the bat, and yet I still didn't realize he was doing the voice of Prometheus until I saw it in this thread.

On the other hand, I recognized Tony Todd as being Zoom immediately.

Easy retcon, Laurel knew something she wasn't supposed to know and to protect her from Dahrk she agreed to enter witness protection before Oliver and the gang saw her in the hospital. The nurse gave her a delayed reaction drug to fake her death. She has been in charge of the new task force X.

Also due to Flashpoint her first mission was to kill Cisco Ramon's brother and make it look like an accident.

That's what the midseason premiere is about.

According to some interviews, they do address the possibility she's Black Siren.



(If she is, I bet you the reveal will be her disabling the team with a Canary Cry.)

When Ollie goes to visit his girlfriend, why are the lights off? She's got a lamp turned on in the middle of the room but no other lighting, and neither of them turns any lights on. It's weird.
There was also a definite show of a large bottle of vodka when she gets him a drink, and considering Ollie said he noticed a flip that was taught to him in Russia, is she going to be part of Prometheus' plan?

I thought she was going to use a brand of vodka that was sold in the Bratva bar as a way to pump him for info.

Third, because it misses the voltron-troll. She's both Prometheus AND Black Canary.

I'm hoping it's the "Rick & Morty"-style thing where she's from an alternate timeline/universe where everyone else died, and she left to find one where she was dead, but her friends weren't. I almost don't even care if anything comes of that backstory. She can even keep the Canary Cry!
