No, that's not the reason why I prefer it. I correctly guessed that Julian was Alchemy (which I'm pretty sure the entire world did). It's just because this has already been done to death. Like I said before, I really enjoyed how Eobard's reveal was handled.

Here's to hoping. They've already broken the trend by making the season 4 Big Bad a non-speedster.
