This is another Babylon 5 episodic soundtrack I didn’t originally plan to buy, figuring that most of the music had been used elsewhere. Once again, I was proven wrong in this regard – the score to Whatever Happened, though numerous elements are lifted from or recycled by other episodes, is interesting and has several unique moments. A distinct and eerie theme runs through the scenes in which Sheridan is trapped with the ancient being known only as Lorien, and more specifically, in those scenes where Lorien delivers and reiterates his “tick, you’re alive, tock, you’re dead” speech, a chiming, clock-life motif can be heard…and that has to rate as one of the most clever, possibly the most clever musical metaphor that Christopher Franke has ever utilized in a Babylon 5 soundtrack. The “Delenn Addresses The Rangers” cue is another highlight, opening with a sweeping, heroic theme that I 
don’t remember ever hearing in another episode, almost main title theme material. And another source music surprise is heard in the form of the music playing in the bar where G’Kar is trying to trackdown Garibaldi’s whereabouts (to be honest, I’d never really noticed music in that scene before). In summary, it’s a far more distinctive and worthwhile release than I originally gave it credit for!
