* RootingForTheEmpire: It's hard not to sympathize with Becka when she rigs her television to murder her husband Joe. Not only does she feel extremely reluctant to do so, but Joe proves himself to be an absolute piece of shit who seems to take sick pleasure in treating Becka like garbage as he cheats on her with Nancy. The fact that she ends up in a mental hospital after seeing Joe die might've been the kindest thing to happen to her, as it at least means she didn't fall in with the rest of the Havenites and get ''really'' bad.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Gardener's views on nuclear power echo Stephen King's own, and it's clear it's a subject that he's passionate about (both King ''and'' Gardener), but King puts those views into the mouth of a man who is, at that point in the story, a thoroughly unlikable alcoholic who approaches the subject with about as much grace and aplomb as a mass shooting. If King was trying to make a point, it was lost by who was delivering it. When Gard sobers up, he's embarrassed and ashamed of how he acted.

** In the mini-series adaptation, there's Becca killing her husband, Joe. When you put together the fact that he has cheated on her numerous times, belittled, lied to and mistreated her, ditched the search for a lost child to have another affair and being an overall {{Jerkass}}, his death is INCREDIBLY satisfying.
