[WHAT IF?] Babylon 5 Season 6 Credits

I've been on a "Babylon 5" bender of late, now owning all seasons and movies in some form. So, after seeing that there hadn't been many attempts at them, I decided to throw together another "What If?" video.
This one follows the characters seen in the penultimate episode "Object at Rest", who it was shown were becoming the new command staff, taking over the various roles left by the departure of mainstays like G'Kar, Londo, Franklin and Garibaldi. We know from the movies and "The Lost Tales" that Captain Lochley stayed on for at least another 9 years, so I figured... what happened next?
So, this video stars:
Tracy Scoggins as Captain Elizabeth Lochley
Jeff Conaway as Security Chief Zack Allan
Joshua Cox as Executive Officer David Corwin (promoted to Lt. Commander)
Marjorie Monaghan as Intelligence Director Tessa Halloran
Jennifer Balgobin as Medical Chief of Staff Dr. Lillian Hobbs
Marshall Teague as Ambassador Ta'Lon
and
Stephen Furst as Ambassador Vir Cotto.
I chose the Season 4 theme (shortened slightly) because it is one of my favourite themes from the series. I tried a variety of existing themes as well as a few different ones from th soundtrack but felt this was the most dramatic and fitted what I wanted from a theme for this video.
I might do some follow ups to this video, we shall see :)
All clips are the property of Warner Bros, all music is composed by Christopher Franke and both are available to buy from any good retailer with some hunting.

Babylon 5 is the intellectual property of J. Michael Straczynski.

Where are these battle scenes from? They look awesome!

[orbingmaster]

@thefreeflowification: various episodes, mostly season 4 clips of the White Stars, season 5 of the Centauri cruisers, the sequence of shots towards the end includes clips from "Call to Arms", more season 5, and the Earth cruiser going after a Drakh ship is a shot from the Crusade premiere. All shots of the station behind the characters come from "The Lost Tales", and I even threw in a shot of the Valen, from "Legends of the Rangers"

i would prefer if Shaal Mayan from season 1 (the branded girl) became the new ambassador of minbar.

[orbingmaster]

@silaku i actually considered that - great minds :p but at the time i made this video, I didn't have Season One available :(

I really really wish B5 would return with season 6, but only if they have a great long story arch again.

I miss and love B5

[MrCoreyCole]

but I would have kept G'Kar as a last character, and Bester as the main villain!

[MrCoreyCole]

awesome!

@Stingmon21 and all others...

The new series would have had to have new conflicts. Vir v. Ta'lon wouldn't be logical successors to Londo v. G'Kar.

Corwin's character could fill out. Ivanova could fly through in her Warlock-class destroyer. Crusade's longer story could be re-centred at the station with a new on-going role in helping uncover black projects etc. But JMS would still want an arc to follow -- and that would be a pre-requisite. Coriana 6 changed everything B4/B5 was for.
