!!Tropes:
* AdaptationDeviation: Drogan dies in the novel in Las Vegas, but here he dies in Boulder after delivering Flagg's message to Abigail and the others.
* BadassBoast: Flagg, speaking through Drogan, has one:
-->'''Flagg:''' I have your blood in my fists, Old Mother. Pray your god takes you before you hear my boots on your steps. I'm going to blow your house down!
* BaitAndSwitch: A flashback shows Fran and Harold pulling over to refuel their motorbikes. Harold excuses himself and goes around the back to pee. While he's doing that, a camera angle from inside the outbuilding rushes towards him as if he's being ambushed... but it's just Stu, who decided to introduce himself when Harold's not holding a rifle.
-->'''Stu:''' Well, that's one good thing about the end of the world. We can piss wherever we want, right?
* BlackEyesOfEvil: The messenger Flagg sends to Boulder gains these when Flagg possesses him to deliver a warning to Mother Abigail.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulu: Nick literally does this to Flagg in a dream after rejecting Flagg's offer to join him.
* EyeScream: Nick loses an eye after being punched in the face with a fraternity ring during a bar brawl.
* GenderFlip: In the book, Ralph Brentner is male. In the miniseries, "he" becomes Ray Brentner, a woman. Judge Harris is a man in the book, but a woman in the miniseries (she's the one seated next to Larry as he drives into Boulder).
* GreenEyedMonster: When Frannie points out that Harold can't exactly complain about people tracking them down when he's the one who sprayed their names and destination everywhere. Harold's face pretty much ''screams'' that he was hoping for people who don't look like Creator/JamesMarsden.
* IOweYouMyLife: Variation. When Frannie doesn't want to leave Stu because he's the first person they've met, Harold puts his foot down, reminding her that he's the one who "saved your life in Ogunquit!"
* LanguageBarrier: After being beaten and losing an eye, Nick wakes up in the hospital post-pandemic and is met by Tom, a friendly man who is developmentally-disabled. Since Nick can't hear or talk and Tom can't read (or pick up on social cues very well), their communication is rather limited until they find other company.
* MotorMouth: Former sociology professor Glen Bateman has plenty to say.
-->'''Glen:''' You don't talk much, do you?\\
'''Stu:''' I don't think that'll be a problem.
* RaceLift:
** Ralph Brenter is white in the book; in the miniseries, his gender-flipped version Ray Brenter is played by the Native American Irene Bedard.
** Nick Andros is white in the book; in the miniseries Nick is Hispanic (his mother is from El Salvador).
