Does it bother anyone else that the STXI credits giving Nimoy's Spock as "Spock Prime" is just another stupid mistake? That the Nu!Spock should, logically be Spock Prime? Hear me out. Anyone who's taken high school math should know that the zeroth iteration goes by its name and the first iteration is marked by a ', which is pronounced "prime", the second by '', which is "double prime" and so on. For more iterations than this it is typical to use subscripts, sub zero, sub one, sub twenty-one, etc. TOS Spock is the ur-iteration, making him simply Spock. The new universe which is created by Nero's time traveling should be the Star Trek Universe Prime (STU') and everyone in this new timeline who is parallel to the first should be '. Hence Spock', Kirk', Sarek', etc.

Now does anyone else see this or am I just crazy?!
