Yale, could it be that the Rocinante from the Expanse is as ungainly, angular and awkward as Don Quixote's most excellent horse, hence the name? Phil |

Hi, there.
After to see this thread I search for this serie and I found it here in Brazil by Netflix, only the first season. The photografy and special efects are so better than Babilon 5, for exemple. |

Turns out Holden (the protagonist) liked to read real (printed) books when he was younger, and apparently one of them was "Don Quixote". When the crew of the ship had to choose a name for her, Holden and another crew member agreed on the name, Holden because it was the name of the famous workhorse, and (quite oddly) the other man said it was the name of a girl he knew.

Right. Holden picked the name. IIRC, Miller looked it up and found that it meant "No longer a workhorse". It's really funny once the satire is understood.
