Dead, yes.
But that wouldn't in itself be a valid reason to change it. A valid reason would be if it were stagnating. Trek was doing no such thing, though. When it was active, it was epic. There was no stagnation - only lack of interest, so it died peacefully.
In a lack-of-interest situation, the key isn't to disrespect the predecessors - the key is to build upon them. Take what they do and do it better.
I'm still not sure how I feel about this film, though. It's the first Trek film to not star actors from a preexisting TV show.
