@nmahoney416 Sadly the decision to make episodes longer is based on showing more commercials, not that the episodes story arc couldn't be contained withing the 43-46 min of a regular hour-long.
@redshirt There was only 9 extra minutes of commercials when you take away the extra show time vs the run time on AMC but I do agree that they are probably the biggest reason for the extended runtime. I still think there was a creative decision to stretch out Carl's death. It really made the episode drag.

This didn't need to be a longer episode. And can the close up on Rick's eyes stop being a thing? Please
