Tell that to the millions dead. Sorry, it was an accident. Whoopsie daisy. We found the person responsible and we just pat him on the back and gave him icecream
Spoilers How it will end, your predictions.

What would you suggest they do? Murder a helpless child?
Because despite his age, that's exactly what Su'Kal is. A CHILD. He cannot possibly be held responsible for what happened.
So nice to see that "kill them all and let Q sort them out" has become a viable solution in Star Trek.
I see this ending quite well.

Not murder. An “accident”
Well, that makes it better.
He grew up in a holodeck, he isn't brain damaged.
Sighs...Ok, depending on Kelpian psychology I would feel confident to say that if he had limited interactions with other sentient beings then his mental health growth could have been adversely affected. Human brain growth and social development begins at newborn age and can resulted in a lot of emotional difficulties if there isn't interaction to practice emoting. So, yeah, he could have some measure of brain damage, or mental damage.
Indeed, yes. And I value these stories more and more. It blows my mind at just how much pushback they get.
Admiral "The Godfather" Vance: "Make it look like an accident. He sends one of our ships the hospital we send him to the morgue. That's the Starfleet way."
He had interactions with Holograms, try again.
He's obviously child like.
Holograms are not necessarily people. That doesn't automatically translated to fully grown functional mind just because you have holograms. Many cues and interactions can be missed.
I don't need to "try again." I simply state what I observe based upon what I know.
Thanks.
By obviously you mean not really and just doesn't get a couple obvious things because the holodeck wasn't set to inform him about it being a holodeck.
Pretty much every scene he's in drives home the point he's basically a child.
He had interactions with glitchy, messed-up holograms on what was (likely) intended to be a temporary measure until rescue arrived. And it looks like he had ultimate control over the holograms as well, forcing them to cater to his whims.
He's about as well adjusted as Bill Mumy in The Twilight Zone.
Or Charlie Evans.
Why are you assuming the Holograms were glitchy when he was growing up when it was very specifically mentioned as being caused by 150 years of accumulated damages?
Because it was very specifically mentioned as being caused by 150 years of accumulated damages.
My predictions:
- Discovery crew will take back Discovery from the Emerald Chain
- Big space battle between Emerald Chain and Starfleet
- Ossyra will die
- The disabled scientist will betray Ossyra because he sees how evil she really is
- Hugh, Saru and Su'kal will be rescued
- With Su'kal saved, the galaxy is saved from another Burn.
- Emerald Chain makes peace with the Federation and agrees to start process of joining the Federation. We also see quick slide show of Earth, Thrill, Vulcan etc rejoining the Federation hinting that the Federation is on a path to rebuilding bigger and better.
- Discovery with no crew is lost, setting up Calypso
- Michael becomes captain of a new Discovery (that looks just like old one for nostalgia reasons)
- Discovery crew will take back Discovery from the Emerald Chain
- Big space battle between Emerald Chain and Starfleet
- Ossyra will die
- The disabled scientist will betray Ossyra because he sees how evil she really is
- Hugh, Saru and Su'kal will be rescued
- With Su'kal saved, the galaxy is saved from another Burn.
