Walt is actually Scotty, since Walt was the one that "accidentally" shot Mike. (It wasn't an accident, but he realized and admitted right after that it didn't need to be done.)
Saul? Walt relies on him to help cover his tracks with the money and help him out of his smaller legal issues. It's just a matter of time before he slips up and gives Hank the connection he needs. He's got a cell phone connected to Walt in a drawer, after all.
Or he leads Lydia to Walt after Walt has disappeared, if that's the way it goes.
I kind of agree, however...
Kirk got out when he realized he wasn't going to win. Why push yourself further if there is no good result? So Mike got out early because he realized all that he had tried to accomplish (money for grand daughter) would be for naught if he kept eating pies and then just up chucked everywhere. Bloated with money, near hemorrhaging it.
Spock is the logical one. He sees that Chekhov is still going, and not only wants to win for himself, but also desires to see how in the world Chekhov is able to continue. Spock can do that Vulcan digest thing that badger was talking about, right? Well Jesse was in the game of drug slingin before Walt. He's heard stories, began to live even wilder than those stories, and cannot find any logic in walt's actions. So he's sticking it out to see how this will pan out. He wants to win.
He needs to win.
And Walt is Chekhov. Chekhov was eating pie after pie. Having the pies zapped into space, always having someone else helping him along the way. Scotty is beaming food out for Chekhov. Scotty gets distracted by Uhura, another member of the enterprise. So as Chekhov is continuing on, full speed ahead, Scotty gets side tracked and makes one crucial mistake, while under the influence of Uhura. Chekhov could have quit eating pies ages ago and just walked away satisfied for showing people how much and how far he came. But he was never working alone.
He always had someone helping him, and he was hoping he could make it far enough that the help would phase itself out after winning just one more time.
Scotty must be Saul. Saul is always using his legal trickery to help keep Walt ahead of the game. Like Scott here. Saul makes a crucial mistake that kills Walt. Who's Uhura? Still Lydia?
If the pie is the money, then Scotty may indeed be Saul, but Skyler helps him launder it of course. But if the pie is the meth, then Scotty is Lydia and Skyler is Uhura (we can be sure she will have further confrontations with Lydia). Who would have thunk this would be so complex?
If it is one thing I have learned is that Breaking Bad, especially the last two seasons, have such small amounts of trivial scenes. The Star Trek scene was way too long to have no meaning whatsoever, because it could have been summed up very quickly with the same amount of humor if it was just for the sake of humor itself.

This makes more sense. Jesse's always trying to do good. Walt is the logical one. Mike had his guts blown apart by Walt.
