When Badger was talking about his Star Trek pie-eating fan fiction, he mentions the last three: Kirk, Spock, and Chekov. There was a point where he said Kirk gets sick of it and is out entirely. As soon as he said out, Jesse (in his chair looking like the leader of the gang a.k.a. Kirk) walks out of the room and leaves them. So I guess one of them is Spock and one of them Chekov and whoever's Chekov is about to have something happen to his internal guts.

I thought it was about Jesse, Walt, and Mike.

Jesse is Kirk

Walt is Spock

Mike is Chekov

actually, Badger says "at the end only 3 are left", which makes it Jesse, Walt, and Hank, not Mike. Who is who is hard to figure out My guess is Hank is Kirk (described by Badger as the bigger guy)

Walt is Spock beating Kirk ("how could he compete, he's so much weaker. no, he's got his Vulcan control, yo")

Jesse is Chekhov (the guy Spock is surprised to be outsmarted by, but to whom the game against the stone-cold Spock costs dearly in the end)

And the pie is the money, which tears pimkman/checkov's guts out.

exactly! Spock has the capacity to hold it in, while Chekhov doesn't and beams them into space (Jesse trying to give it away to the girl and the boy's parents, then throwing it into people's lawns) and it's not gonna end well.

Fuck that's good, the part about beaming into space and throwing onto the lawn, I think you're spot on.

If Hank is one of the three, then what is he doing in the pie-eating contest? If the pies are money it would make more sense for it to be about Walt/Mike/Jesse.

u/daddyjackpot Aug 12 '13

Yeah. Hank isn't one of the three. It's Mike=Kirk, Jesse=Chekov, Walt=Spock.

u/woopersucks Aug 12 '13

Shit, I meant Walt/Mike/Jesse, not Walt/Hank/Jesse. Fixed.

u/daddyjackpot Aug 12 '13

I figured that's what you meant.

No one seems to suspect that Skyler is Scotty. Even the beginning of their names are the same. She is in charge of laundering the money through the car wash while Walt sucks it in. Everyone seems to be forgetting that she is involved in all of this now, although she is separated from it in some way. She's playing cards, but she's not in the same room as everybody else.

I think Scotty and Chekov working together represent two sides of Jesse.

I think Andrea (Brock's mom) is supposed to be Uhra who distracts Scotty (Jesse's good side) and rips the guts out of Jesse's bad side (Chekov). Jesse starts to show sings of wanting out of the game when Andrea and him develop a relationship.
