"We wanted to tell this story where Carl, by affecting the people around him, especially Rick, wants to change the world and change what the world is to them, and then keeping that piece of the book," says Scott M. Gimple. "And, by the way, when I say we’re taking it, that isn’t to say that we might not get there in another way, obviously, but (it led to using) a version of what happened in the book, one of maybe many versions you could see on the show. But it very much was about Carl’s story first. It sprung from Carl’s story."

Carl's death would've been more resonant if the episode was 60 minutes, instead of 83 minutes (http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/tv/ct-ent-walking-dead-season-8-episode-9-recap-20180222-story.html)
The midseason premiere was a slow miserable march towards an inevitable conclusion (https://www.avclub.com/the-walking-dead-returns-with-the-same-old-lines-1823306763)

Chandler Riggs on his final Walking Dead episode: "It was really bizarre because I’ve gotten so close with Carl" (http://ew.com/tv/2018/02/25/walking-dead-chandler-riggs-carl-honor/)
"I have grown up with him," he says of filming his final episode. "Really having to say goodbye to that whole part of my life was super, super weird. But kind of a relief in a way knowing that I get to go and do other stuff, and movies, and things like that. It was very bizarre."

Good job spoiling the episode for those who haven't seen it.
