Star Trek TNG episode with three timelines and a trial about mankind's right to exist
After reading the question Cloaking the USS Enterprise, I'm trying to remember an episode of TNG.
- It seems to run 3 different timelines in parallel, Current-time
past time and future time. - They all do some sort of scan at a specific spot in space, and this
causes some kind of effect to happen backwards in time, threatening
to prevent the formation of human life. - Q was involved.
- There was a trial, about mankind's right to exist.
What brought it to mind was the Enterprise of the future, I think it had 3 warp nacelles... and maybe a cloak... but that's going to be a separate question once I get the episode :-)

That's "All Good Things", the series finale of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The trial refers back to the series' pilot episode, "Encounter at Farpoint".
