The Emmy win is surely of little surprise to the Rick and Morty staff and fanbase, but still welcome news nonetheless.
“Pickle Rick” had so many Emmy connections prior to its win that in hindsight it now feels obvious to me that it was the only clear choice to win.
The episode has plenty of famous fans, including the Game of Thrones showrunners and Peter Dinklage, who provided commentary for the physical copy of the episode.
The only disappointment surrounding it might be from creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, who probably would’ve loved that Emmy back when they were discussing contracts to ensure the show’s future.
