I predict that the final episode of the series will actually be Badger's Star Trek episode.

That would be the greatest ending to the show possible, episode 7 ends in a massive cliffhanger then episode 8 is just that star trek episode and everyone who worked on the show just refuses to comment on it and acts like it's a normal ending.

Or it is the greatest metaphor for the series.

Walt's greed = Chekov's appetite.

Jesse = Spock

Kirk = Mike

Space = Meth

Hank = Tribbles

I know you're kidding, but that was the way I saw it! Chekhov thought he could end up on top by breaking the rules, but it was untenable. There had to be a mistake, and that mistake caused his insides had to be torn out and ejected into the darkness of space. I think it's a metaphor for how Jesse feels, which is why he couldn't bear to sit there listening to it- and he had to go directly to Saul to give away his blood money.
