** 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.
** There's also [[EvilIsSexy Nancy]] (who Joe was sleeping with) getting choked to death closer to the end of the film.

* 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.

* CrazyAwesome: The Tommyknockers and their affected Havenites initially play this straight, but then [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruct]] it. Their abilities allow them to create crazy awesome things like flying tractors, typewriters that operate via telepathy, and a water heater powered by a small nuclear reactor-many of them by using mere D-cell batteries as the power source. However, the Tommyknockers' technological prowess is hindered by their psychosis (meaning that the "Crazy" part keeps them from being Awesome for long) and doesn't permit them to really use their abilities in the long run. The affected Havenites have a little better luck as they can devise efficient uses for this knowledge, but often overlook little details (such as the use of a DC converter) and succumb to the same psychotic bents.
