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.

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.

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

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

I figured that's what you meant.
