But they're *galaxies*... they've got millions of stars in them, and 
maybe a few intelligent civilizations that have created a whole bunch 
of their equivalent of TV episodes.  There may be plenty of reliable 
sources out there for all of this, it's just that they're all 
published in the other galaxy and we have no way of accessing them or 
even knowing they exist.
