Abatshabalalisi be I-100 ukulandela.
I-100 Ubandakanyeke kwingxabano enkulu kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo kulandela isigqibo sokubulala uHeda Lexa phantse kwangoko emva kwembonakalo yothando phakathi kwakhe noClarke kwisiqendu esineengxoxo ezilishumi elinesithathu. Nangona umdlali weqonga owayedlala iLexa, uAlicia Debnam-Carey, wayenyanzelekile ukuba abuyele kuyo Yoyika Abafileyo Abahambayo kwaye ke kuye kwafuneka ukuba icinywe okanye ifakwe endaweni yayo I-100 , abalandeli abaninzi bakubona ukufa kukaLexa njenge I-100 ukwenza imali kubandakanyo olubonakalayo ngaxeshanye Ukuthuka abalandeli abahlelelekileyo .
Umbonisi uJason Rothernberg sele exolisile ngokusweleka kukaLexa, kodwa impikiswano ejikeleze lo mboniso khange iphele, ngakumbi ukusukela umlinganiswa othandwa ngumlandeli uLincoln, odlalwa nguRicky Whittle, wabulawa kwisiqendu seveki ephelileyo esithi Stealing Fire.
Ukufa kukaLincoln kwakungalindelekanga, kuthathelwa ingqalelo uWhittle waphoswa ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka njengeyona nto iphambili kwiStarz Oothixo baseMelika uhlengahlengiso kwaye ke kuya kufuneka ukuba ushiye I-100 kungekudala ngandlela thile. Kudliwanondlebe olude kunye ne-AfterBuzz TV, umdlali weqonga waveza ukuba isigqibo sokushiya umboniso sesakhe, kwaye wabelana ukuba wayenamava angaphantsi kwamaxesha afanelekileyo kwisizini yokugqibela (ukukhutshelwa nge Umhlanganisi kwaye Umtya weTV ):
Ekuqaleni kwesizini, [uLincoln] wayenomgca webali opheleleyo owawunqunyulwe, owawungekho nje. [Umbonisi uJason Rothenberg] wasisebenzisa gwenxa isikhundla sakhe ukwenza ukuba umsebenzi wam ungabinakunyamezeleka. Into ayenzileyo ibenyanyeka kwaye kufanelekile ukuba neentloni. … Wayendixhaphaza ngokomsebenzi, esika lonke ibali ebendifanele ukuba ndiyenza, usika imigca, usika yonke into ngaphandle, ndizama ukwenza isimilo sam nam singabalulekanga kangangoko.
UWhittle ukwagxeke nezinye izinto ezenzekayo kuthotho, esithi uLexa wayemangalisa kakhulu ukuba abanjwe yimbumbulu, kwaye esithi uPike ngekhe aguqulwe abe sisikhohlakali. Kodwa ngaphandle kokugxeka, akafuni ukuba abalandeli bayeke umboniso okwangoku:
Kusafuneka ukhumbule ukuba sikhokelwa ngamadoda nabafazi [ku-Eliza Taylor's Clarke], sinoBryan noMiller, sinabalinganiswa abamnyama abohlukeneyo abasemagunyeni, sinabafazi abanamandla. Ngokwenyani, umboniso unayo yonke into, ke hlala nayo. Hlala nosapho lwam. Hlala nabahlobo bam.
Ngokuqinisekileyo ndincoma ukumamela kangangeyure-kunye nodliwanondlebe ngangokunokwenzeka; nangona uWhittle enezinto ezingathandekiyo azithethayo malunga nokuba umboniso uqhutywa njani, kwimeko yodliwanondlebe lonke, wenza njalo ngeyona ndlela ilinganisiweyo, enobuchule. Umdlali weqonga uphinda phinda ukuba akafuni 'ukuziphindezela' naye nabani na on I-100 nangayiphi na indlela, kwaye, ngaphandle kobushushu obubangelwe leli xesha lonyaka, ucinga ukuba uthotho kunye nokuthanda kwayo kuyanceda ukwenza iTV iqhubele phambili. Ukuba kukho nantoni na, ukubona indlela uWhittle ayithanda ngayo, kunye nenhlonipho anayo kubalandeli, kundenza ndonwabe ngakumbi ukumbona njengoShadow Oothixo baseMelika .
Emva kokuba udliwanondlebe luqale ukufumana ukubambeka ngakumbi izolo, uRothenberg wakhupha ingxelo esithi: URicky Whittle ngumdlali onetalente; Ndiyawuxabisa umsebenzi wakhe I-100 kwaye umnqwenelele konke okuhle phambili Oothixo baseMelika .
