My original idea for this was just to do the pesterlogs, but let's stop quick and check out the other Eridan and Eridan-related panels before moving on to the next act.
CG: METEORS?
CG: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
CG: WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH METEORS.
GC: OH BOY YOU N33D TO G3T W1TH TH3 PROGR4M K4RK4T
Before Eridan even appears, we find out he's a member of the "conspiracy" about the game. We know Aradia's place in this - she knows everything about what the game will do to the planet. Sollux was aware of the coming disaster but not that the game itself causes it. Vriska and Eridan, however, never seem to get their place in this explained. It's Kanaya and Feferi who seem to be the ones who know about things. If Eridan was aware of the meteors, you'd expect the imminent death of all other trolls to come up when he's pondering his own genocide attempts - instead, he'll be completely taken by surprise when Sollux dies.
What does this mean?
No idea. Might be a plot hole, might just be Terezi being confused about who knows what. Might be something that'll come back to haunt us when we least expect it.
Let's move on to his first actual appearance.

We're introduced to our first sea dweller here. Despite being a sea dweller, his encounter with the faygo bottle is when it washes back up on another shore. Like land dweller Gamzee, Eridan lives next to the ocean, not in.

At the time this seemed like Eridan had some sort of anti-pollution feelings, but in retrospect he's probably just annoyed because it's a reminder that there are land dwellers in the first place.
