Season 1, Episode 9
8/10
Nasty Nick Gets My Goat!
10 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
A runner named Hal 14 is pursued through the City Of Domes and shot dead by a Sandman. At a laboratory, the Sandman's entire physical appearance is surgically altered to resemble the dead runner, who was a friend of Jessica's.

Logan, Jessica and Rem encounter 'Hal 14', who claims that there a revolution brewing back at the City Of Domes, and urges them to return. Before they can do so, the Solarcraft is suddenly imprisoned in a force-field by 'The Provider' - the leader of a community whose inhabitants use electronic means to achieve happiness...

The late John Meredyth Lucas is probably best remembered by cult T.V. fans for his work on 'Star Trek'. His one and only contribution to the world of 'Logan's Run' is a somewhat disjointed affair; the 'Hal 14' and 'Provider' story lines are not particularly well integrated. Nicholas Hammond, who plays 'Hal 14', was one of Heather Menzies' co-stars in 'The Sound Of Music', and went on to play 'Peter Parker' in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' television series.

Most interesting moment - Rem saving his friends' lives by killing 'The Provider', in so doing he breaks a condition of his programming - never to take the lives of humans.
