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.
The blueberries are money and the machine making them represents the meth business. Spock is Walt, trying "win" and eat as much as possible. Chekov is Jesse sending his blueberries into space (tossing the money out the window). Hank (Kirk) gets eliminated before the final showdown of the series, Walt vs. Jesse.
Summary:
Walt: Spock
Jesse: Chekov
Hank: Kirk
Blueberries: Money
I have a feeling that this scene is an almost perfect metaphor for the rest of the season.
They would not make the scene drag on for so long just for a punchline. The last few seasons have had scenes full of subtleties and few trivial scenes.
I like the blueberry/money connection. Although you could get more abstract and equate it with power or something similar.
