Greetings,
I've wandered in here hoping someone can help satisfy my unfulfilled curiosity. I'm trying to find or at least identify two sci-fi movies (possibly TV shows...) from when I was a kids. Should have been in the 70's but the memory is so fuzzy...
1) Fairly certain the first was a serial of some sort. A boy from a frontier type town gets in trouble and has to hide out in a closed mine shaft. After wandering deep into the shaft he finds out that the planet isn't really a planet but is a space ship/station like an ark preserving life and the inhabitants don't know. The bulk of the story is the adventures wandering around inside.
2) This one is even fuzzier...hey, if it was easy I woudn't need help right?
The hero of the story has a clear plastic hand that is some type of computer. He runs around through the movie defeating bad guys (aliens?) and some of the bad guys are carrying the fingers to his hand. Each time he kills one he takes the finger, attaches it to the hand and gets more information about his condition or mission.
Neither were award winning material I'm sure but they are both shadows from childhood that I would love to flesh out and put to bed. If anyone can even point me in the right direction to figuring out what these two shows are, I would be deep in your debt.

As a follow-up...
A reader from another forum has helped identify the first mystery show as "The Starlost" from 1973. I just found it on Netflix. It looks like someone tried making a movie from the series in 1980 but I have little or no information on it.
Still working on the second one.
Thanks for the help so far!

I am sorry but I don't know either of those but I am happy that you have at least one figured out
