   No it didn't.  Enterprise failed.  Massively.  Nearly took the whole   
   franchise down with it.

   Young Spock won't try to fix it and save Vulcan and his mom.  He   
   realises that either he would be playing games with the stability of   
   the entire universe, or he'd just be spawning a new universe with a   
   new Amanda and his mother would still be just as dead.
