ALL FOR NOTHING

RIP CANADOT

Yeah, I thought for sure that Peridot's escape pod was headed straight for Toronto (I live in Michigan near Detroit, and have been to Toronto and visited Windsor frequently as a kid, so I know Canada quite well, even watch CBC channel 9 which is easily picked up with a decent antenna in the Detroit area) and figure Beach City is probably in Florida somewhere, probably on the east coast. Of course, the show never gives us a location for Beach City, but based on the climate and being a tourist town, it's definitely on the east coast and south of New Jersey.

I too, was really hoping for an episode of Peridot stuck in Canada, trying to find her way to the Kindergarten to salvage some Gem tech so she can get home or at least signal for a pick up, but she keeps getting infuriated by the Canadians being so darn polite with her. I can almost picture the opening to Northern Exposure, but with Peridot inserted (I can just picture her try to order a Moose around and getting frustrated, LOL). I guess it just looked like the escape pod was headed towards Canada, but once it entered the atmosphere Peridot steered it for a spot closer to Beach City but still out of view.

Then again, she was still tied up in Amethyst's Whip when the pod ejected (and how cool was that) and may not have had much control over where it landed. She may have even tried aiming for the Kindergarten but wound up crashing in that field and the impact was so hard that she had to retreat into her Gem to heal and regenerate (and that would explain why the escape pod was so banged up, so damaged, if she hadn't been tied up she probably would have executed a soft controlled landing). If so, then she will look different the next time we see her, and if she's been regenerating then that would explain what she's been doing all this time since the end of Jail Break, if she is just now leaving the pod and that was her emerging from the field onto the edge of the road just as Jenny drives the Pizza car into the field to check out the green glow.
