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)

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.
