Well of course not.
Otherwise the twits at paramount who are in charge, never learned counting 
either.
As they and their target audience A.D.D. fans, keep calling  the 2013 
fiasco,... "STAR TREK 2"

Which means it is NOT, the old franchise.
But a whole new franchise that is just confusing to everyone.
....But with enough non-stop loud noises and lens flares,...no one will ever 
notice.
