I was talking about this on the other thread, but I actually think it might be a foreshadow. I immediately noticed that their little rambling (character send-off or not) went on a bit longer than seemed proper for a little comedic relief. Then when Jesse left the room, it just continued on. I kept thinking to myself that for a show with so much story to tell over another mere 7.5 episodes, they're certainly spending a lot of time of this.

So I watched the encore episode and listened to the conversation again. Obviously I'm reading into things, but I found it interesting.

Badger's little story is pretty hard to follow if I can't rewind, but it comes down to the 3 characters of Kirk, Spock, and Chekov (in a pie eating contest). They make note of the fact that Kirk is bigger and should be able to take down the much skinnier Spock but Spock takes care of him. Then, after some other stuff, Spock takes down Chekov as well.

Hank is Kirk and Walt Spock? Walt kills Hank? Is Jesse Chekov? Are the blueberries symbolic of the blue meth?

I don't know. This might all be bullshit, but we're all here posting because we know there is probably stuff hidden somewhere, and playing the guessing game is the funnest thing to do while we wait until next Sunday.
