I believe that does indeed qualify as bizarre. Possibly even creepy.

I had a weird-ass dream about standing in a delivery room watching a live birth. Which is... gross. Except in the dream, it was Linda Carter giving birth. And what she gave birth to was a cheeseburger. So I started eating the cheeseburger, and she was screaming, and everybody was mad at me and I think somebody called me a dingo 'cause I ite heh bibey.

I laughed until i fell off my butt.

So as you will recall if you've seen both Star Trek and Star Trek: Enterprise, the NX-01 looks anachronistically "advanced" compared to NCC-1701, both on the inside and on the outside. So here's my mental gymnastication (muwhahaha) to explain the apparent anachronism: NCC-1701's exterior is ruggedized. Simple as that. Thicker hull, possibly armored in some way, with all the greeblies packed on the inside instead of sticking out on the exterior. When it comes to the displays and control surfaces -- I admit this one is more of a stretch -- the "visual record" (and we know that we keep them as per "The Menagerie") obfuscates the displays and control surfaces to prevent hostile nation-states from scrubbing through the footage and getting information from it that Starfleet doesn't want them to have. So the control surfaces only look like colored jelly beans and the displays only appear to reflect uninformative primary-colored blinking lights because those portions of the footage have undergone the 23rd century version of having been pixelated.
