I got the joke and don't see anything you should aplogize for.

IMO futuristic spaceship designs in TV and movies set hundreds or thousands of years in the future shouldn't have to follow real life turn-of-the-21st-century design norms.

While I agree that some of the movie/TV spaceships could have used someone with a better eye for styling, as we've seen from various depictions of expected future land, space and air vehicles from the 40's and 50's even relatively short projections are nearly always wildly incorrect.
