Hmm, I'm not getting that "expecting" vibe at all. Care to remind me
of onscreen evidence of this?
Seems to me that the scenes at the beginning of the last episode
could've been a complete accident (they were looking for something
else) and had nothing to do with 815 until the subs stumbled upon it.
Once they decided it WAS 815 (I suppose maybe it couldn've been the
only Oceanic flight unaccounted for), THEN all the media reports would
start reporting on the location.

We really haven't been given enough onscreen evidence for any of this
IMO. We have Danielle's dialogue about her ship being a few days out
of Tahiti, we have Desmond's (assumed) navigational skills telling him
where he should've been when he ran aground, and we have Toomey's wife
telling Hurley they were monitoring the Pacific for signals. I'm sure
I've missed a few other references to the location of the island, but
the producers have gone to great lengths not to give us a whole lot to
go on...
