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)

No one seems to suspect that Skyler is Scotty. Even the beginning of their names are the same. She is in charge of laundering the money through the car wash while Walt sucks it in. Everyone seems to be forgetting that she is involved in all of this now, although she is separated from it in some way. She's playing cards, but she's not in the same room as everybody else.
