《卡美洛的最后守护者》 / The Last Defender of Camelot

《卡美洛的最后守护者》 / The Last Defender of Camelot is one of the [[RogerZelazny|Zelazny]] stories closely read in sp.03 串台｜趁生命气息逗留：泽拉兹尼与他的梦境. The source describes it as an Arthurian rewrite in which Lancelot has survived into modern San Francisco and treats immortality as burden or punishment.

The episode’s main interpretation is that the story turns sacred legend into a modern conflict over belief, power, loneliness, and manipulation. Merlin made Lancelot live on partly because he did not want to awaken centuries later alone; the Grail becomes less a pure object of faith than something invented and used to control knights.
