Matt Jones and Charles Baker

"We have a scene in the premiere where Badger [Matt Jones] and Skinny Pete [Charles Baker] discuss their version of what would be the perfect Star Trek episode," says creator Vince Gilligan, himself a Trekker. "They have some very distinct ideas, enhanced by certain herbal products." Friggin' Tribbles, dude. Awesome.
