their appearance will freeze in time

That assumes that they are moving away from us at the speed of light (or close to it). We may see what happened millions of years ago ... but it won't be frozen. Who knows how many stars we see today, have actually exploded millions or thousands of years ago, it's just that the light of their demise hasn't reached us yet.

News you can't use.

However, it is nice to realize that some galaxies are already beyond the event horizon. I'm hoping those are the ones containing the man-eaters.

You can have that "preserved" look, too. Heavy doses of tonsil polish, followed by 30 or 40 coats of lacquer, buffed to a high sheen...

"What will people see, looking at the sky billions of years from now?", he wondered.

They'll see 3D holographic sky-projected news flashes about the latest attempts at a Middle East peace plan.
